What is the song on the most recent AT&T ad?

Cingular Ad Last Year: Guy in cowboy hat playing guitar--what is the song?

  • Guy is doing a mean solo picking style on the guitar. Awesome song (to me). I emailed Cingular a while back (before I knew about Google Answers) and they told me the ad agency but I don't have that info anymore Help! I would like to know the song-if it is not just an 'ad' song.

  • Answer:

    I don't think I've seen this one, but I'd like to. According to this page, the song is Beethoven's Ode to Joy: http://www.wrightforyou.com/bgetc.html "Everybody's curious about that Cingular Wireless commercial, featuring a collection of a half-dozen excellent West Coast bluegrass pickers, hammering away magnificently on Beethoven's "Ode To Joy". " This page includes a brief bio of John Moore, one of the musicians featured in these ads: http://www.nativeandfine.com/HuckFinnMusicCamp/ According to his bio, the other performers featured in the ad were "Dennis Caplinger, Bill Bryson, Herb Pedersen, Kenny Blackwell and Sara Watkins." Here's a page where you can download .wav or Real Audio formatted versions of "Ode to Joy," if you want to confirm this is the song you heard: http://www.copleyplayers.com/listen.htm I hope this answers your question. If this is the wrong commercial, let me know and I'll see what else I can dig up for you.
