Summary from Andrew Bird's website
Bird says: “Music of Hair was made over a 2-year period age 20-22 and captures a period when I was into different ethnic fiddle music: Cape Breton - Irish Scottish - Swedish Klezmer and Gypsy, Indian to Miles Davis & experimental word play. Actually, it’s divided into 3 groups of 4 songs. The first is sort of American. The second is N. European. The last is sort of my own melange and was done just when I was getting mixed up with the Zippers. I was somewhat embarrassed of it for a while but now I think it’s kind of cool. It is sort of a relic from the time before I got my conceptual shit together.”
