His work has been formidable enough to attract A-list cowriters like Miranda Lambert and Ashley McBryde on 'Whitsitt Chapel,' his June release and probably the 19 th or 20 th album of his heretofore underground career.īefore he took the stage, Jelly Roll, 38, reminded the faithful of some of his key philosophies in a photographed series of lyrics posted on the marquee of Whitsitt Chapel: You can't unlive where you're from…I'm far past my last chance…I only pray when I ain't got a prayer… you can't scare me to heaven…hungover in a church pew. In a don't-judge-a-book-by-its-cover story, the 300-pound, heavily tattooed, blinged-out ex-con and longtime rapper is an unexpected combination of pain, vulnerability and tenderness. Jelly Roll welcomed all comers Friday into his dysfunctional, messed-up family, and they were excited to join. It seemed like an odd mix by an unlikely star. Jelly Roll, Nashville's newest star, kicked off his much-anticipated 2023 tour in Prior Lake with a mix of pyro, middle-finger salutes, pro-marijuana proclamations, and heady lyrics about sin, addiction, love, church and redemption set to rap, rock and country sounds.

All 7,000 tickets for his concert Friday night at Mystic Lake Casino Amphitheater sold out in 15 minutes. Last month, his 'Need a Favor' became the first song ever to land in the Top 10 on Billboard's mainstream rock and country radio charts at the same time. The TikTok video of him cutting off his mullet last week has accumulated more than 30 million views. But Jelly Roll is pretty big and hot right now.
