Talkin' Orange Alert Blues
- Talkin' Orange Alert Blues
Talkin' Orange Alert Blues is a song by folk-singer John Craigie, from his fourth album, "A Picnic on the 405". It is one of his most popular songs, and a staple of his live shows. It is done in the standard Talking blues style popularized by Woody Guthrie, and later Bob Dylan, such as in Talkin' World War III Blues. The lyrics tell the story of John and his family on Christmas Eve in Los Angeles, reacting to the Orange Alert that President Bush issued on that day.
