Hi all-

My old friend, Ottar “Big Hand” Johansen from Norway, has just released a version of “Old Flames” that features…me!…in a guest duet. 

Below is the information about the single with some comments from Ottar. Give it a listen!

Hope all of you are keeping your hearts up in these dark times. We are still here!

See you down the road...

-Hugh

"I first heard Old Flames with Joe Sun in 1978, and already thought it was one of the greatest country songs I had ever heard. Later I became good buddies with Joe, and we did several tours together both in Norway and the USA. In the TV program "Honky Tonk" on NRK TV in 1985, I had the pleasure of backing Joe, and doing a duet with him on Old Flames. As I celebrate my 60th anniversary as an artist, it is a pleasure to honor and remember my good friend. As a duet partner I have Hugh Moffatt, the man who wrote the song! " - OJ
