A Nod To The Working Class Family Man — Pake Rossi Releases New Single “Welder's Son”

“Welder‘s son” is the first song off of Pake’s fifth studio album “Bluecollar Blues”. This song is his way of ‘tipping his hat’ to blue collar tradesmen, while simultaneously serving as an homage to his families legacy. “Bluecollar Blues (a working title)” is a collection of eight songs that captures Pake’s experience as a third-generation welder, and features stories that he has picked up while working in the oilfield, and various other trades along the way.

All of the songs on Bluecollar Blues were written by Pake Rossi.

Produced by David Beck in Martindale Texas, over the course of two days. Acoustic guitar, bass, drums, and lead vocals were all recorded live in one room. 

Pake Rossi- acoustic/electric guitars, vocals, harmonica. 

Dees Stribling- drums and percussion

David Beck- stand-up bass, harmony vocals, and all other instruments. 

Mastered by Justin Perkins at Mastery Room Mastering.

“Rossi’s songs of tumbledown characters and blue-collar existential musings feel lived-in, honest, and altogether his own.” -Christian Wallace, co-creator & executive producer of Landman.

“Welder's Son” is available now for airplay and download through the CDX Nashville Digital Music Download Center.

ABOUT PAKE ROSSI

Pake Rossi is a singer/songwriter based in Fort Worth Texas. Southtexican by birth, Rossi settled in Fort Worth after a long migratory stint traveling the Texas Honky-Tonk scene. Rossi is known for being driven and hands-on with every album he has made. For example, he once spent the month of May, 2013, clearing out a junkyard in order to raise money for his third album (Twisted in the Vine). He then spent the rest of that summer living out of his van in order to save for the recording sessions in September. 

In December of 2019, while Rossi was working in the oilfield outside of Pecos Tx. his song "Dirty Pecos Motel Blues" was featured as the theme song for the popular podcast "Boomtown". Produced by Texas Monthly and Imperative Entertainment, Boomtown rose to number 14 in Apple’s podcast rankings, and to number 1 in the documentary category, and was later adapted to television by Talor Sheridan on Paramount, as "Landman".
