Jelly Roll’s new album Whitsitt Chapel was released on June 2. The album is titled after the church Jelly attended in his native Antioch, Tennessee ( a suburb of Nashville). His debut full-length country project, the new work features 13 tracks.
Jelly Roll said in a statement when he announced the album, “This album is about growth and gratitude happening in my life. I wanted to create a project that felt hopeful. I believe the worst feeling a person can have is feeling hopeless or worthless. This is therapeutic music. Real music for real people with real problems.”
Jelly Roll’s ABC documentary “Save Me” premiered on Hulu on May 30. Jelly partly said in the teaser, “I feel I owe it to my people to give them hope.” Jelly also talked about going to jail as a teenager and addiction and mental health problems in the new documentary. He noted in the trailer, “I came out of jail with a plan; I was going to put every ounce of energy into music.”
