DAN PALLOTTA – “WORKING MAN’S SON”
INDEPENDENT
New England folk songwriter Dan Pallotta has a new single out entitled, “Working Man’s Son,” a powerful, upbeat and introspective folk track that captures the emotional tension of gratitude and guilt in a son’s relationship with his father.
The inspiration for the song came from Pallotta’s relationship with his father, who passed away three years ago.
The song’s production reflects the emotional depth of the lyrics, with Pallotta opting for a more upbeat arrangement after initially considering a slow, intimate piano ballad.
The track’s mood is both melancholic and inspiring, with a powerful sense of tribute and loss interwoven into the music. Pallotta’s poignant lyrics and thoughtful storytelling are complemented by his collaborators, including multi-instrumentalist Peter Davis, who contributed a variety of elements, including djembe, cajon, shruti box, electric guitar, and bass to the recording.
ARTIST QUOTE
“We tried that ten different ways and it was dragging. Once I decided to pick up the tempo and raise the key to about the top of my voice, the existing arrangement came together.”
