Al Hirt	Grazin' in the Grass	An 8 track tape called: Buick, Free Spirit '77	Warp!
Al Hirt studied classical trumpet at the Cincinnati Conservatory (1940-43) and was influenced by the playing of Harry James. He freelanced in swing bands (including both Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey and Ray McKinley) before returning to New Orleans in the late '40s and becoming involved in the Dixieland movement. A virtuoso on the trumpet, Al Hirt was often "overqualified" for the Dixieland and pop music that he performed. He died at his home in New Orleans on April 27, 1999. This song was restored from an 8 track tape. It is titled Buick, and has the Buick eagle on the cover. Our visitor Raymond Madden writes: The song was a #1 hit for Hugh Masekela in '68, and a #3 hit the following year for the Friends of Distinction. As for the 8 track I am in the dark, but would hazard a guess that it was most likely a promo for Buick. (Thanks, Raymond, for sharing this info!) Our visitor Dave Taylor writes: I couldn't believe it when this came up on my search for "Buick 8 track". We listened to this 8 track in my grandmother's Buick when I was growing up. She got it from the dealership. I was trying to recreate it since it is long lost. (Thanks for sharing, Dave. Best!) Do you have extra background information about Al Hirt or this song/album?
