Jelly Roll …. A modern day Johny Cash

[hallett21]

I know the majority here think that Country music peaked in 1994 lol.

If you don’t know who Jelly Roll is, take the 5 mins to read about the guy. Pretty cool that he made good on his word and played for the inmates.

They did a great piece on him for the show Sunday Morning a couple weeks ago. Man is very humble and is in to giving back.

He’s genuinely a good guy.

He may be a great guy but it's hard for an old dog like me to get past his idiotic face tattoos.

My daughter moved there this summer, she's having her first real winter. She was sending us videos and pictures from the night before last and yesterday. She had to walk to work yesterday, LOL. But does seem to be enjoying it so far.

Music's too whiny and pity me...

 

[DaytonaBabe]

I like a few of his songs. He had a good interview on JRE:

Other than the voice they both were drug addicts, popular in prisons (Jelly Roll did prison time, not sure Cash did) and had number one songs in their day. Seems pretty similar to me?

 

[HST4ME]

Can't stand him and his poor me schtick, and the three year old that sharpied his face.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

I've never heard any "poor me" type stuff from him. On the contrary, I've only heard messages of gratitude from him.

Damn that looks pretty dang cold. Was there last summer and sweating our balls off, lol. Broadway St. is Disneyland for Rednecks, lol. Such a Good Time!!!

I understand that perspective. My wife was cleaning around the house listening to Adele the other day. I told her no wonder all her dudes leave her. I couldn’t take it anymore. Lol

Respectfully...

Cash wasn’t a dope dealing, petty criminal who was locked up because he was a loser.

Nashville is a joke and Jellyroll proves it. I can’t believe people buy into their shit. Jellyroll has catchy tunes, courtesy of Nashville. Just Nashville being Nashville and selling tunes at all costs, nothing more. Soon, Jelly will move on to mainstream pop, just like Swift did.

Cash was self-made. It was Cash and his Tennessee Three, and not the Nashville machine, who created a country music dynasty that lasted decades, and Cash opened the doors for countless other guys. Cash put out 76 records…how many will Jelly put out?

But to each his own, the 40+ crowd seems to like him.

Cash seen here with his original Tennessee 2. You hear the “boom chicka boom” sound of his strummed, but not played, guitar because they couldn’t afford a drummer, who came a few years later to form the Tennessee Three. No engineering, production, and studio handouts from Nashville…just talent and perseverance.

Dude, comparing how Jelly Roll started and how Johnny Cash started cannot be more apples to oranges. Back in Cash's time they didn't all have access to software and programs that can replace any instrument possible for recording sessions making it much easier now-a-days for anybody to produce music themselves. If you doubt that, look at Tom McDonald. No label behind him at all and he is CRUSHING it!

BTW, Jelly Roll was born and raised in Nashville and had been in the underground "hick-hop" scene for a LONG time. There are quiet a few popular former contributors that are now at least moderately successful in main stream music.

Johnny Cash became a little less cool here in the 1980s:

 

[playdeep]

Cash was real country...
Jelly Roll is firmly entrenched in the posuer bro country genre.

...it's a cool story

 

[SpeedyWho]

I'm at the get off my lawn stage in life. I won't give that guy a minute of my time. Just looking at him tells me all I need to know.

 

[Brokeboatin221]

I didn’t like him at first and felt the same as above but I actually like some of his music and he seems to have learned from his past. He seems like a down to earth guy and I respect that.

I turned 54 YO on 1/8, and totally understand your perspective. Johnny Cash didn't grow up in the same environment as Jelly Role. I am a huge big hair rock band lover as well as 60's folk music but appreciate Jelly Roles country music. It's real, just like folk music from the 60's and early 70's ( like this favorite of mine -

)

I had never heard of the guy until a couple of years ago, my wife loves country music so I started listening to it again. I listened to it in the 80's along with hard rock and Beasty Boy / hard core rap ( NWA when it first came out) while in HS.

This guy changed his tune as he got older and found his niche and hits on a lot of things for me and is REAL. Yea, convicted drug dealer, thug, but I appreciate redemption and acknowledge and respect that in people.

FWIW

 

[BingerFang]

He’s definitely not modern day Johnny Cash but he’s a genuinely a great person that means well and wants to help as many people as he can with their drug addictions. And for that reason I think he’s an amazing human.

I have the utmost respect for the way music was made before auto tune and computers ruined it and am old enough to see it all unfold. Musicians are still being created by mom and dad to this day, but the environment has changed so much. I recall Tom Petty lamenting that auto tune will kill the music industry. Who knows where this will go, but some special people seem to still connect with peoole and that is what music is all about, and to do it without modern technology and in an environment dedicated to lost souls is pretty cool. Especially when the artist has been to the depths they have been and are trying to make up for it.

Does that also explain the other idiot, Post Malone? First time I saw a Doritos commercial I was like , wow, they put fake tattoos all over that guy’s face. Fake? Nope!

 

[Brokeboatin221]

My ex made me go to a post Malone concert and I was miserable. Every other word was an f bomb and he talked like a crybaby.

 

[RVRKID]

Forgot to put this up but I think he did a GREAT job in front of Congress

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I worked with Jelly Roll last night, even had a few words with him. He's a really cool guy, very humble and down to earth.

He is the nicest guy.. Very polite, respectful person that is extremely humble about his success. He says things like "yes sir" "yes ma'am" when taking direction... Just an all around great guy. I'm around him a lot. If you can look passed his tattoos you'll find that he's just a normal dude having fun....
