Jon Anderson of Yes Releases New Single

From my inbox:

LOS ANGELES, CA (June 19, 2020) – Legendary Yes singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jon Anderson has released "WDMCF," the third single off of his highly-anticipated new solo album 1000 Hands, an album nearly 30 years in the making. 

Stream 'Yes (Expanded & Remastered)' and Support BBG!

1000 Hands will be Anderson’s first release via his new partnership with Blue Élan Records. The album will be available digitally as well as on CD and a deluxe 180-gram double vinyl package on July 31.  

When speaking about the new single, Anderson says,"WDMCF originates from me singing the first ideas that come to mind each morning. I start by creating vocal rhythmic sounds, very much like the Pygmies in Bambuti and Burundi in West Africa who go foraging and hunting and sing all the time. They sing like the sounds around them…insects, birds, frogs etc.." He adds, "I always dream and think that my best work is yet to come, or there would be no point in creating at all. I just feel so energized, happily surrounded by this world of music.”

Enjoy this new track below! Happy Friday everyone.

I could be mistaken, but after reading that, I feel the Jon may have taken one too many rips off the ceremonial bong over the years. When you wake up in the morning and the 1st thing you want to do is channel a rhino in heat or mimic a parrot with flaming hemorrhoids, and then immediately transfer that “artistic expression “ to tape, you may have been thrown under the Grateful Dead party bus one too many times.

I prefer his tune “Swingin” or perhaps even “Seminole Wind”

BK - that made me laugh really hard. Way more than a LOL can give justice.
