ORANGE BLUES 24

One man seeks refuge from the world's crazy in the arms of his muse -- the love of his life.
ORANGE BLUES 24
After winning awards world-wide for his “George Floyd: Say Their Names” video, Chris Oledude is preparing for the 2025 release of his first album, PREACHER MAN - VOL. 1. The lead single is a remixed version of the timely, fun and hard-hitting shuffle rocker “Orange Blues”.
You can hear the entire song right here! I hope that you like the song, share the song, and buy the song so we can keep funding the new album! Enjoy! (P.S. – The recording is “hot”, so watch your volume! Heh, heh, heh!)

"The lyrics are so clever! It's witty, sexy, fun, and very contemporary with him referencing things like Twitter. I really enjoyed the raspy vocals, the B.B. King style guitar performance, and the familiar old school blues (almost Texas swing/blues). Also, the instrumental performances are wonderful! ...
This song has 'party' written all over it! It will appeal to people who love good old fashioned blues, gospel and soul. The audience for this song loves to listen to outdoor music, loves to go out dancing - the type of person who embraces life's joy and likes to have fun."

"I need desire's fire to burn through those orange blues!"
"Almost everyone around the world deals daily with the insanity of Trumpocracy," says Chris Oledude. "As an artist, my job is to acknowledge the oppressive and depressing nature of the former President's behavior and policies, but I have to do it through the lens of the Blues writers and performers who have done this for years."
Oledude highlights the human condition when discussing "Orange Blues": "When we're upset, we need to be comforted. Hugs work really well! Kisses can be extremely effective! I am channeling that crisis-grounded need for physical love that we are all experiencing right now."
" 'Orange Blues' is a tribute to every man and woman who feels overwhelmed these days. Between COVID-19 and Trumpocracy, there was plenty of stress for all. As we have learned in the most dramatic manner, however, our message must be clear: Trumpocracy must go; but whether it disappears or not, WE will endure, survive and prove victorious."
Oledude gathered socially-distanced musicians in a backyard up in Woodstock, New York. "A beautiful June Sunday in 2020 made our recording possible, but I had a node on my vocal cord that limited my singing. 'Orange Blues 24' features new lead vocals, new background vocals and a remix. I am pleased with the result and I hope we can spread the word quickly by sharing the song with as many people as possible!"
Chris Oledude acknowledges and greatly appreciates the contributions of recording engineer Mark Dann, co-lyricist and vocalist Wendy A. Ward, saxophonist Charles Frommer, lead guitarist Ned Matura, rhythm guitarist Geoffrey Owens, drummer Eric Parker, and pianist and organist Ross Rice.
Oledude 's songs have been heard by thousands of internet radio listeners around the world and in the United States.
