New American Language was produced by Wil Masisak, Colin Mahoney, Chuck Plotkin, and Brian Schey; mixed by Russ Fowler and Wil Masisak; and mastered by David Glasser. This song was written by Dan.
“Albuquerque Lullaby” is Dan Bern on acoustic guitar and vocals; Colin Mahoney on drums; Brian Schey on bass; Eben Grace on electric guitar; and Wil Masisak on Wurlitzer piano and vocals. “No one cares about your glory days … don’t let your heart get broken by this world. ” This song offers an introspective passing by of lyrical images, a self-reliant tone, and guitar playing to draw you to attention. This song will present that there is a well of human resourcefulness that we can draw on within ourselves, despite hardships we face. Inspirational.
“Albuquerque Lullaby” is a song that acknowledges the trouble you might have but gives a goodly amount of hope, with a cool picking pattern. — Dan Bern
