Music of Hair is the debut studio album by the American singer-songwriter Andrew Bird, released in 1996. The tracks featured were written in Bird's early twenties, and the album was released when he was 23.[2] The album features contributions from musicians Colin Bunn, Dave Dieckmann, Kat Eggleston, Al Ehrich, Kevin O'Donnell; and, James "Jimbo" Mathus, Katharine Whalen and Chris Phillips from Squirrel Nut Zippers.
The title of the album is a reference to Galway Kinnell's poem, "Wait". This poem is also used for the lyrics in the song "Wait," on the album Oh! The Grandeur.[3]
