We are proud to release the first single from Hal Windham's upcoming album (album titled All You Left Behind). This song is entitled "The Light". Hal - who passed away in 2011 - wrote this song and recorded the lead vocals at Malaco Records in Jackson, MS, in 1976. The backing track was newly recorded in 2025 by Jason Hannan (Hal's son), who plays lead and rhythm guitars, piano, drums, and bass on the track. Backing vocals are handled by Jason and Michelle Hannan. Hal Windham was a true original, a one of a kind singer and songwriter. We are so proud to finally make his work available to modern audiences.

Coming December 12th, a very special single release. The Light, by Hal Windham. Hal was my (Jason Hannan's) father. A lifelong professional musician, he passed away in 2011 of cancer and left behind a trove of music he recorded over the years. Using AI tools and studio know how, we are extracting his powerful lead vocals and re-recording all the instrumentation around what he left us. Stay tuned, this is just the first!

Hey folks, we've got new original music from Michelle Hannan & One Blue Night for the first time in a couple years! This one is called 270 Blues and was written by Jason Hannan - Musician. The song was originally written and recorded for MIchelle & Jason's 2022 album Out There in the Dark but didn't make the final cut. It features Howard Parker on both pedal steel and lap steel. Jason plays lead guitar, drums, and bass. And of course those are Michelle's on of a kind lead vocals. We hope you enjoy!
