Americana and alt-country trio The Redhill Valleys put their signature spin on a ’90s classic with their latest release, a reimagining of The Wallflowers’ GRAMMY-Award winning, number one smash hit “One Headlight”, available digitally today via MDM Recordings Inc., distributed globally by ADA Canada via Warner Music Canada. Staying true to the song’s anthemic spirit, The Redhill Valleys infuse it with their unmistakable grit, rich harmonies, and rootsy rock energy—bridging nostalgia with a fresh, modern feel. Their take on the track highlights the raw emotion and timeless storytelling that made “One Headlight” a defining song of its era while making it undeniably their own.
“’One Headlight’ is a song that has always resonated with us. The lyrics carry a weight, but there’s also a sense of movement, like something pulling you forward,” share The Redhill Valleys. “When we recorded our version, we wanted to capture that feeling in a way that felt honest to who we are. We leaned into the grit, the atmosphere, and the storytelling, letting it take shape in our own style. It still feels as relevant today as it did when we first heard it, and that is what drew us to it. Our own interpretation of the song always felt like pushing forward through the dark, and that’s something everyone can connect to.”
With their trademark blend of heart and authenticity, The Redhill Valleys breathe new life into “One Headlight,” offering longtime fans and new listeners a fresh perspective on a beloved classic.
ABOUT THE REDHILL VALLEYS
With powerful, earthy harmonies, rootsy guitar licks, and timeless lyrics, The Redhill Valleys emerged with a force onto the Canadian music scene in 2016.

After releasing their two-part EP, Travel Well, in 2022, The Redhill Valleys’ single “Anymore” garnered significant praise, including winning first place in American Songwriter Magazine’s lyric contest and receiving regular airplay on SiriusXM’s North Americana, CBC Country, andTom Petty Radio. Nominated for multiple awards—including “Best Group” and “Best Roots Artist” at the Country Music Association of Ontario Awards for three consecutive years—the band has built a loyal fanbase, extensively touring across Canada with appearances at Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Big Sky Music Festival, and Cavendish Beach Music Festival, as well as performances in the U.S. and U.K., including three shows at C2C: Country to Country 2024, Europe’s biggest country music festival.

Now, with the release of their reimagined cover of The Wallflowers’ “One Headlight”, and original tracks “Making Rumours”, “Rhinestoned”, “Ready To Roll”, and “Make It Out Alive”, the band continues to push boundaries, grow their audience, and honour the music that inspires them.
