I’ve always love Music and listen to a variety of artists and at times I find songs that I just have to have a CD or album from. Jelly Roll is the newest singer I’ve fallen in love with. Jelly Roll is a inspiration to many. If you know me and you’ve seen Jelly Roll you wouldn’t think he would be someone I listen to but I do on a daily basis.
Son of a Sinner and I Need A Favor are songs you will find playing in my home all times of the day and night. David has gotten to like his music just as much as I do. The funny part is I found out both my sister Deborah and my friend Debbie also love Jelly Roll. David thinks he could be a Preacher and I agree with David.
For Christmas David bought me JELLY ROLL BIOGRAPHY: American Rapper and Songwriter with Jason Deford as His Real Name by MAURICE PENCE (Author)and his CD’s The Whitsitt which has I Need A Favor and Ballads of the Broken with Son of a Sinner. I was told had been sold only at Walmart’s so I searched and searched and couldn’t find them so I thank the LORD David didn’t give up and purchased them for me. But the LORD is always listening and the other day we walked into Walmart on Rufe Snow.
I decided to go look at the albums for a minute to see if there was anything new I wanted to add to my collection. Low and behold after all this time there was Jelly Roll’s The Whitsitt album and before you asked no, I didn’t purchase it because I have the CD which doesn’t mean I won’t go back and get it later.
