"Jelly Roll, a heavily tattooed former gangster rapper remade as a country-rock preacher, delivers bombastic, melodic songs about the desperation of addiction and the power of faith."
"The concert was also, in some stretches, a hip-hop show, nodding to the decade-long rap career that preceded his breakout, and the ways in which that fact is no longer the obstacle to mainstream country success than it once might have been."
"With his latest album, Beautifully Broken, debuting atop the Billboard album chart in October, Jelly Roll has reaffirmed his place in modern country music, blending genres in a way that reflects the evolving landscape of the genre."
"His show is a secular ministry – church for people that don't know they need church, he said earlier in the evening, picking at some hash browns with bacon in a green room backstage."
