Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard
Travelin’ Heart
Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Turner has returned with his collaborative project, Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard, by releasing a brand new single, "Travelin' Heart." The track sees Joseph take elements of indie pop and traditional Americana instrumentation and blend them together to create a rousing, down to earth song that is memorable for all the right reasons.
Joseph threw everything in to making the song the best it could be, even learning to play the mandolin just for this release, and it has definitely paid off, giving Travelin Heart a distinctive folk feel right from the start. Joseph created the bones of the track from notes that he had written on his phone while on an East Coast road trip, and that really shows in the overall vibe of the song. If you close your eyes and turn it up, it is easy to imagine driving along the coast with the summer sun on your face. Great stuff.

Lyrically, the song is about the freedom of letting go of baggage and learning to live in the moment. Joseph's calming vocals, supported by stunning backing harmonies from close friends Petey and Gigi, add an extra layer of richness to the overall sound. A very uplifting and well-crafted single by someone who understands composition and has used that to give real movement to the song, with the ebb and flow helping to immerse the listener deeper into the track.
