"Son of a Sinner" is a song by American musician Jelly Roll. It is the second single from his 2021 album Ballads of the Broken. The song is also Jelly Roll's first single release to the country music format.
Jason DeFord, known professionally as Jelly Roll, wrote the song with David Ray Stevens and Ernest Keith Smith. Jelly Roll and Stevens were writing songs together at the Sound Emporium in Nashville, Tennessee when Ernest stopped to visit the two. According to Ernest, he let Jelly Roll play one of his guitars, which was set to drop D tuning, at which point Jelly Roll came up with the song's chorus. Ernest then encouraged Jelly Roll to write the verses by himself, as he thought doing so would allow the song to be more autobiographical.[1]
The song is about Jelly Roll's personal life as a traveling musician, as well as his personal struggles with "right and wrong" and drug addiction. Jelly Roll told Billboard that he was intoxicated while recording the vocal track. The final recording uses a guitar track created and produced by Ernest, with additional production from session musician Ilya Toshinsky. Tom Roland of Billboard described the song as "mainstream country rock" featuring power chords, slide guitar, and a bass guitar line with "a flurry of notes uncommon in the country genre".[1]
