Jelly Roll’s ‘Beautifully Broken’: All 22 Songs Ranked
Billboard ranks all the songs on Jelly Roll's 22-track album 'Beautifully Broken.'
Meanwhile, Jelly Roll has been bringing his redemptive songs to audiences across the country (including coveted performance venues such as Madison Square Garden) on his headlining Beautifully Broken Tour, which runs through November. Tender guitar, stately percussion and flashes of banjo rumble as Jelly Roll turns from direct-to-listener lyrics and instead paints vivid character sketches of people whose lives have been derailed by jail time and drugs. “I met a man who was 20 years clean/ He said, ‘Everybody here’s felt the same defeat,'” Jelly Roll sings, aided by a choir, and making clear that this new album is poised to continue speaking to the hurting, the lost, the broken, offering up compassion, understanding and a musical salve.
