Jelly Roll - Ballads of the Broken: CD

Jelly Roll - Ballads of the Broken: CD

On his only major release of 2021, Nashville-based rapper and singer/songwriter Jelly Roll offered up the short and surprising project Ballads of the Broken. The brief album took a different stylistic approach than his usual countrified rap on almost every track, going from country-adjacent hooks ("Son of a Sinner") to eerie, remorse-filled pop and rock tunes ("Over You"). His soulful vocals and the twangy backing are a very pleasant surprise!
