Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard turn perseverance into a gloriously dusty barroom stomp on ‘Backbone’, a spirited new acoustic roots-rock single.
Built around an infectious acoustic guitar riff, stomping feet, handclaps and communal gang vocals, ‘Backbone’ celebrates the stubborn determination required to keep moving when life repeatedly knocks you backwards. But rather than delivering its message as a solemn motivational anthem, Turner fills the track with humour, mischief and the irresistible energy of friends making noise together.
Drawing from Americana, blues and the rugged storytelling of artists such as Colter Wall, ‘Backbone’ introduces a particularly lively side of Joseph Turner's new project, with The Dudes of Hazard operating as a rotating cast of friends and collaborators.
