Jelly Roll has taken country music by storm with his unique sound and look, and doesn't hold back in telling his stories about addiction and time in prison.
Jelly Roll is taking the reins of country music years after fighting through addiction issues. The 'Son of a Sinner' singer, whose full name is Jason Bradley DeFord, is unlike many artists who came before him. He grew up writing poetry in the suburbs of Nashville, and credits Johnny Cash, Bob Seger and James Taylor as musical influences, in addition to Three 6 Mafia and the hip-hop duo, UGK.
The first time I heard Sam Hunt’s ‘Break Up in a Small Town,’ when that 808 drops,' he said. 'Or 'Cop Car’ by Keith Urban. I was like, ‘Yo, country dudes are singing about wild s--- again!’' Jelly Roll proved he was ready to sing with the stars when he performed at none other than the Grand Ole Opry. 'I knew that night that that was gonna be home for me,' he said.
Why do we not have more programs focused on rehabilitation instead of discipline? It just shows how bad we’ve done on educating Americans on the disease of addiction and on what Big Pharma is doing to us in allowing these labs to create fentanyl,' he said. 'We’ve gotten so far away from compassion. That’s scary.
