New music video shows dozens of Tulsa attractions, including those on Route 66

Tulsa-based musician Charlie Redd recently released an animated music video, “Tulsa Hills,” described as “a love letter to Tulsa.”

The video contains images of nearly 150 sites in Tulsa, including quite a few along the city’s stretch of Route 66.

Mort Johnson, a Tulsa native, did the animation.

In an article in the Tulsa World shortly before the video was released earlier this month, Redd moved to Tulsa from Austin about 25 years ago and still is enthralled with the city.

“A lot of people misconstrue that Oklahoma, especially Tulsa, is flat,” he said. “But my experience driving around town is that it is really hilly. There are a lot of hills in Tulsa … some major hills. I thought it would be a cool hook, Tulsa hills.” […]

“You can’t watch the video just one time,” Redd said. “You have to watch it over and over so you can see everything that is in it. You catch something different that you didn’t see (before) every time you watch it.”

The video also includes a few sites that are locally famous but no longer exist.
