Surely somebody somewhere-maybe millions of somebodies-needs to hear Jelly Roll singing, "I'm not okay, but it's all gonna be alright" over pedal steel and fiddle on lead single "I Am Not Okay".
But then there's "Hear Me Out," which opens with a soulful exploration of personal struggles and the demand for genuine emotional connection.
