It takes no lack of confidence to name your band The International Treasures, and a little more yet to call your album ‘Together, We Are The International Treasures‘. But it also takes a certain amount of self-deprecating humour. With the help of a lot of friends, The International Treasures are at their core the duo of Doyle Turner and Ted Hajnasiewicz. The funny thing is though that The International Treasures make a beautiful sound that is completely to treasure, as on today’s premiere of a song from the new album, which was released on September 17th.
‘Leave A Little Love’ is a beautiful ballad, pinging with pedal steel and rattling with mandolin. It definitely has that “happy sad” feel to it, but it’s also a song which looks to inject a little optimism into life, encouraging the listener to look up and head “towards those brighter days, I know“.
‘Leave A Little Love’ also features Joe Meyer – upright bass, Brent Fuqua – mandolin, Dean Severson – pedal steel, Mikkell Johnson – fiddle, vocal, Chris Holm – harmonica, Troy Foss – drums, and the “Love Choir” of Doyle Turner, Ted Hajnasiewicz, Joe Meyer, Nikki Lemire, Mikkell Johnson, Molly Turner, Phyliss Hajnasiewicz, andTroy Foss. We did say that they had a lot of friends…
