Jelly Roll Says Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting Inspired New Album Track ‘Winning Streak’


Jelly Roll is speaking candidly about his experience attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, a topic he says he's never talked about publicly.

Jelly Roll, who says in the chat that he’s “actively doing better every single day,” described the moment at an AA meeting that influenced his writing on “Winning Streak.” It tells someone else’s story, but in the first-person perspective. He said that felt right for this particular track, and named first-person songs like James Taylor’s “Carolina in My Mind” that have inspired him and made him emotional, solely as the listener. Jelly Roll, who’s latest new music release is the collab “Losers” on Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion album, will hit the road for a series of headlining tour dates later this month.
