Episode Description from the Publisher

1996. Two Grammys. One of the defining sounds of the ’90s. That hypnotic, driving drum beat feels like a reminder to just keep going. In this episode of Allison Unchained, Allison Hagendorf dives into the real story behind “One Headlight” by The Wallflowers, a song that captured a generation navigating uncertainty, resilience, and everything in between. Written by Jakob Dylan during a time of personal loss and reflection, the song carries a quiet determination of moving forward even when the road ahead isn’t fully lit. It’s a reminder that sometimes you don’t need to see the whole path…just enough to keep going.
