Ballads Of The Broken (Opaque Apple Red Vinyl) [LP]

Jelly Roll, the great underground singer/songwriter/rapper, delivers his new album "Ballads of the Broken". The introspective 10-track album delves into his current stage of life and growth - both personally and sonically. It's the first time he doesn't rap, with the exception of a single verse on the entire album.

Having written every song on the album, Jelly Roll "finds a more centered emotional space" and "takes those raw, unreserved verses and melds elements of country, rock and hip-hop into his own distinctive style" (Billboard).

Being vulnerable and emotional may not be what you'd expect from a burly former inmate with facial tattoos and piercings, but "Ballads of the Broken" is deeply rooted in self-reflection and pain. Drawing on his own experiences and struggles - with relationships, substances, mental health and life in general - the project tells the story of a man who has been through a lot, got back on his feet, but knows he still has a long way to go.
