Jelly Roll on his journey from incarceration to country music stardom

[@mzmotionless2875]

Jelly has changed my life, in 3 days i will have 2 years clean. His music makes me feel seen.

[@MeadowsMiniFarm]

He hasn’t though. Still does drive and drinks heavily and lets his “wife “ sleep around.

[@mzmotionless2875]

@@MeadowsMiniFarm he hasn’t what? Your comment makes no sense. I don’t care if he drinks or smokes weed that’s his life not mine, but his songs made me feel seen made me feel like I have the strength to keep going what he does in his life is his choice and frankly, they have a very healthy marriage based on honesty, which is the topic I’m not going to debate with you because you can’t even write a coherent reply.

This song speaks volumes to me. It had really helped

[@LambertDriveStudios]

Jelly roll is a beautiful soul , world needs about 10,000 more humans like him and we would be better place

[@ginnycleary-zq2pu]

To: @lambertDr - I agree 💯% with you about Jelly ROLE. HE has a kind caring heart, that's obvious. But I like his HONESTY, and that he learned the hard way about going down the wrong road as a kid. He needs to "SPEAK" to many of our young generations. I also like that he believes in God. In other words he has mature faster than most. I LOVE ❤️ HIS MUSIC. 🤗

[@KassidyGinn]

I love how real and emotional Jelly is. He absolutely deserves all the success.

[@branddrivenipad4772]

Love watching this man own his emotions and be accountable. A beautiful example of masculinity.

[@Krickett0707]

O was the old lady in the car who had to Google Jelly Roll. I absolutely adore him. He has the kindest, sweetest heart. I can see him one day as an ordained minister. He has helped so many of us through his music. I'm a lost cause saved me!

I love Jelly Roll❤❤ My daughter and a friend of hers surprised me with tickets to see him at the Ottawa Bluesfest! Best concert of my life❤ When Jelly Roll acknowledged that guy being sober 584 days, there wasn't a dry eye! He is so talented and so humble, I can't wait to see him again...hopefully he's coming back soon!! 2025 I think he said Come back to Ottawa @jellyroll, I'll make you a poutine haha! SERIOUSLY :)) Canada loves you🇨🇦

His soul is so genuine, jelly rocks .God has given him many chances, and he reaches for the stars 🌟 🤩 🥰❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️❤️

[@kennethslayor8177]

My mother used to make broiled sandwiches similar to that. She would put a pad of butter on bread, slice of tomato on that, sprinkle with pizza seasoning, cheese on top, and slide in the broiler until the cheese started to toast. Great sandwich.

[@traceeferrell1734]

I love you Jellyroll! My first time listening to Tom. What a great interview! I loved this! ❤

Love this! Thanks for doing it. We need more folks like Jellyroll in the world spreading hope.

[@cherylrhames3309]

I saw Jelly Roll's speech referenced in this interview. I then heard the song NEED A FAVOR . It touched me in an unexpected way. Yesterday i purchased Broken Ballard and a second Jelly Roll album. Right now the name escapes me. I didnt find one song i didnt like. I was afraid to buy a ticket to his concert because i dont look like the demographic of those that would attend a country music concert let a Jelly Roll concert. But i did because of lovethis man's story, his humility and his music. My fear of being a standout is outweighed by knowing im going to enjoy the man and his music.

[@lancesudberry209]

You'll be plenty just fine don't sweat a bit enjoy yourself as everyone else 😉

[@jenw3085]

I can't wait to see him live. October 8th ,in Buffalo N.Y. I can't wait his music has touched so many lives ,His song I am not ok , Really fits me , the words are just so real for some of us .I love Jelly and his wife Bunnie. What a Beautiful Family, wishing them all the Blessings they deserve. ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for coming to North Charleston SC. My brother in law Gem delivered y’all food. I wish he could have gotten your picture or autograph.

Jelly gained a fan the moment he went out of my way to play for my friends daughter when she was in the hospital for cancer - he was her favorite artist, and the moment I met him I saw his heart. He will always be on my music rotation. As real as it gets.
