Local singer Bill Hudson features "The 81 Song" on his latest C-D, "Liberty Street."
He said the idea came to him while traveling down the four-lane highway a few months ago.

((BILL HUDSON/SINGER: AS WE ALL KNOW, 81 IS GETTING A LITTLE CRAZY AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I STARTED WRITING THAT SONG. I WAS DRIVING DOWN 81 AND IT WAS GETTING REALLY CROWDED AND THAT'S WHAT THE SONG HAS TO DEAL WITH.))

The song also talks about road rage, and truckers along the highway who need to put on the brakes more often.
Other songs on the C-D include Faded Tail-lights and Circle of Fire.
