  • The question is answered completley.... but I really wish Volvo would let us know who the artist is


  • jwmcevoy-ga,

    If what Volvo has said about the track is true (and it likely is), finding the artist/musician will be the equivelant of finding a needle in a haystack. Stock music cd's often come in sets ranging from 10-100 cd's. In most cases, musicians who create the tracks such as these give up their rights to ownership of the music in lieu of a payment per tune or project. They are rarely, if ever, cited on the final product.
    It's a great way for a struggling musician to keep the rent paid.

    However, GoogleAnswers is an amazing resource. I wouldn't be too surpised if somebody finds the answer.


  • Hi jwmcevoy,

    Thank you for accepting my findings as an answer to your question.

    I will re-post my comment for your convenience.


    The following are postings from various forums:

    "I'm looking for the music in the Volvo All-Wheel drive ad, with the
    family of cars in it. It's sort of guitarish.
    It plays here... Wait for the flash to load and it'll play a snippit.
    I need author and title pls! Thanks."

    "I've been looking for that, too. and I E-mailed them. I've got this
    E-mail from Volvo;

    "The ad uses 'Stock music'. Jazz #43 to be exact. There is no artist,
    these clips are simply available to production houses in stock music
    libraries."
