Jelly Roll delivered a soulful rendition of “Halfway To Hell,” an anthem that appears on his latest full-length record, Whitsitt Chapel, that made its debut earlier this year. The powerhouse, genre-blending singer-songwriter took the stage on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night (October 3).
The Nashville, Tennessee-born superstar released his 13-track project in June. Jelly Roll previously shared that he aimed “to create a project that felt hopeful. I believe the worst feeling a person can have is feeling hopeless or worthless. This is therapeutic music. Real music for real people with real problems.” Whitsitt Chapel, named in honor of the church he attended growing up in Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood, includes co-writers Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde, HARDY, Jesse Frasure, Hillary Lindsey, Matt Jenkins, Jessie Jo Dillon, Austin Nivarel, Hunter Phelps, Michael Whitworth, producer Zach Crowell, and others. The album also includes collaborations with with Lainey Wilson, Yelawolf, and Brantley Gilbert and Struggle Jennings.
