Jelly Roll “Hands Up”

Jelly Roll- fresh off the heels of filing for divorce from his wife of 10 years Bunnie XO- has just released a new song called “Hands Up”.

It’s definitely in keeping with his newfound faith, and goes along with his usual narrative of redemption:

Even if you’re not a fan of Jelly Roll, you have to give the man props for turning his life around.

And let’s be real, his music is pretty catchy. I don’t know much about his prior rap career, but his Country and Rock releases are pretty good.

I’m sure “Hands Up” will be an anthem for many, and as someone who is definitely not perfect, but I keep trying just to do my damn best, I can relate.

Jelly Roll is currently on the road with Post Malone on the “Big Ass Stadium Tour” and on his “Little Ass Shed Tour”, and you can get the dates here: https://jellyroll615.com/

Jelly Roll “Thorns”

Jelly Roll continues his roll with a love song that he released over Valentine’s Day weekend called “Thorns”, and it’s pretty dang good.

Usually Jelly Roll’s Country songs have been about redemption, getting through the bad times, that kind of stuff… so it’s cool to hear an actual love song from him.

Check it out below:

Obviously, that’s about his wife Bunnie XO.

I like it. I like hearing a different side of Jelly Roll.

Does the new song signify a new album on the way? Not sure. Probably… it’s about time, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, you have Jelly Roll on the road with Post Malone on the “Big Ass Stadium Tour” this Summer.

That’s a whole lotta ink for one stage.

Shaboozey and Jelly Roll “Amen”

Happy Friday!

Of course, Friday is when all the new music for the week drops, and I was pleasantly surprised by the Shaboozey/Jelly Roll collab called “Amen”.

It’s off of Shaboozey’s “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going: The Complete Edition” which came out this morning.

It’s a pretty good tune. Catchy, easy to listen to, and has some pretty solid, profound lyrics:

We could all use a little mercy, right?

Honestly, I like it.

It’s like I could pray to it and two-step to it at the same time.

Multitasking, ya’ll.

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jelly Roll “Tuesday’s Gone” Live

Ok, I was totally loving this.

One of my all-time favorite Southern Rock bands- Lynyrd Skynyrd- teamed up with Jelly Roll for a pretty solid rendition of “Tuesday’s Gone” as a part of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s upcoming album “Celebrating 50 Years-Live at The Ryman”.

Now, “Tuesday’s Gone” is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, and this was, in my opinion, a pretty cool performance of it:


This song hits me deep in my soul every time.

One of my core memories is being 21, front row at a Skynyrd concert at Skullbone Music Park in Skullbone, TN.

June 4th, 2004.

Me and my best friend Erica singing this song at the top of our lungs in the pouring rain…

It doesn’t get better than that.

“Celebrating 50 Years- Live at the Ryman” will be available on June 27th, and I can’t wait for the rest!

Mad respect to this band for keeping is going for so long, and still delivering!

Jelly Roll “Zevia” Commercial

Jelly Roll is everywhere these days.

Jelly is now the new “spokesmodel” for Zevia- a zero-sugar soda- and it’s pretty damn funny:

Seem familiar?

The ad is a direct take on the 1992 Pepsi ad starring Cindy Crawford:

Jeepers. They don’t make ’em like they did in the 90’s anymore, do they?

I remember LOVING that commercial as a kid, and wanting to BE Cindy.

What 90’s kid didn’t?

Anyhow, Kudos to Jelly Roll for the nostalgia today, and for giving me a good laugh.

Lainey Wilson Cowboys Half-Time Show Performance!

Yesterday, as per Thanksgiving tradition, the Dallas Cowboys had their annual Thanksgiving Day game- which they actually won against The Giants- and every year, they have a full-on halftime show.

Last year it was the iconic Dolly Parton, who took to the stage in a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform.

Mind you, she’s 77, and still rocked it:

Ok, so back to yesterday’s performance…

Lainey Wilson was the esteemed halftime show performer, and she did a fantastic job. Sadly, she wasn’t rocking the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader uniform, but she looked and sounded great, and was obviously singing live, which is a bonus.

The NFL blocks people from sharing their Youtube videos (rude), but here’s what I found on social media:

And Lainey even brought out Jelly Roll as a surprise guest!

Also, have I mentioned before how much I love the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?

I care zero about the team, but the cheerleaders are badass. I have seen every single episode of “Making the Team” and I’m not even a little ashamed.

In all, I thought it was a great performance, and Lainey represented Country Music well, as always!

Jelly Roll and Kelly Clarkson “I Am Not Ok”

 

This is SO good!

Jelly Roll was on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier today, and they performed his latest hit on Country Radio “I Am Not Ok” together with Kelly on the back-up vocals, and it just took it to a whole new level.

Seriously, though. Kelly just makes everything EVEN better.

Her voice is just on a whole different plane than most humans.

Also, Jelly Roll has a new album out featuring the song you just heard and 22 other songs. It’s called, “Beautifully Broken”, and came out last week.

I still have chill bumps from that performance, how about you?

Jelly Roll on “Saturday Night Live”!

Last night was the kickoff of the 50th Season of “Saturday Night Live” and Jelly Roll was the musical guest.

Dude is EVERYWHERE these days, and he is owning pretty much every performance.

Last night was no different, as he rocked his latest release to Rock radio “Liar” and a new song called “Winning Streak”:


Solid work.

Jelly Roll’s new album “Beautifully Broken” comes out October 11th, and you can get his tour dates at http://JellyRoll615.com

Jelly Roll Performs “I Am Not Okay” at The Emmy Awards

Did you watch the Emmy Awards last night?

Yeah, me neither.

I’m just catching the highlights this morning, and one of the big moments apparently was Jelly Roll performing “I Am Not Okay” for the “In Memoriam” segment where those in the industry who passed away in the past year were honored.

Jelly Roll and the symphony accompanying him did a really great job:


In all, a very moving performance, but there are some that are questioning the song choice… since it’s a song about depression and suicidal thoughts.

Jelly Roll tried to explain the meaning at the beginning of the performance, but I kind of get why some people are like, “why THIS song to honor those who had passed”?

I’m assuming most of those being honored didn’t pass away due to self-harm… unless I’m missing something over here?

Some viewers were just as confused as I am:

Oh, and my favorite… because I thought the same thing when the VO guys presented Jelly Roll:

Yes, it was a great performance, and very moving… but also kind of a weird choice.

 

What do you think? Did the song choice make sense? Or totally miss the mark?

Jelly Roll “Liar”

Jelly Roll just keeps putting out the hits, and his new single “Liar” is sure to keep that train a rolling.

Fans have been waiting for this release since he performed it at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this year, and the full single is sure to be another hit:

What I like about Jelly Roll is his relatablity and honesty, which comes through in his songwriting. All of us have been in a situation like he describes in “Liar”, be it addiction, an abusive relationship, or just simple self-loathing.

This song is standing up to whatever demons haunt you.

I honestly really like his music, and to those who are hating on Jelly being in Country Music, I ask why? Isn’t what makes Country Music special is the storytelling and relatability?

Jelly Roll has that on lock.

This song will be on Jelly Roll’s upcoming follow-up to his hit album “Whitsitt Chapel”, due out later this year.

Sorry, haters. Jelly is here to stay.
