Joseph Tuner & The Dudes of Hazard - Missouri
Settle in for a slow-burning, Americana-drenched reflection from Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard titled, 'Missouri'! Indie folk artist, songwriter and vocalist Joseph Turner continues with impressive releases with 'Missouri' a track that yearns for you to reflect on life's many unanswered questions. It's dense, heavy, and country/american-style, with sublime instrumentation that makes you wanna just fall back into a chair and let out a sigh as you listen. There's an incredible gravitas and introspective quality to this track, quite like some of John Mayer's classics. Built around emotional guitar tones and tired, resigned vocals, its the kind of track that hits you with the weight of a life that seems to be going nowhere. The sparse arrangements give Joseph's vocals some real depth and space, emphasizing an intense emotional core. And then, halfway in, 'Missouri' throws you a mighty fine curveball! A moment's pause jumps the tempo into a much more upbeat tempo, like we just shifted gears, quite literally. Now, its a road trip and you can feel tremendous momentum and passion coming through the arrangements as Turner's vocals turn up the charm too. Speaking of, there's a variety of charming string adornments and subtle shifts to keep you interested and engaged all through the track's 5 min plus runtime. There's a riveting action/drama packed tv show called 'Marshals' that follows the adventures of a former Navy SEAL and full-time rancher that we think would strongly benefit by having this track as one of its soundtracks! Anywhoo, stay tuned to Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard for indie, dark Americana and alternative influences into songs that feel both road-worn and alive
