 About Hanson
Recorded at their Tulsa studio and released on their own 3CG Records, The Walk builds on the success of HANSON's last album, “Underneath”, which debuted on the Billboard Independent Chart at #1 and on Billboard's Top 200 at #25, making it one of the most successful self-released albums in history.
Nowhere is that more evident than on the download-only release of “Great Divide”.  Released in November in honor of World AIDS Day, the song opens with Isaac's funky guitar riffing and the poignant sound of an African children's choir, recorded during a trip the band took to Mozambique and South Africa.
It used to be that musicians would drop in on each other's recording sessions, and you'd have really big events like the ‘Concert for Bangladesh’, where everyone played together.
