Shortly before his CMA Awards win last month, Jelly Roll earned his second consecutive No. 1 on country radio with “Need A Favor.” The chart-topping hit is the follow-up single to “Son Of A Sinner.”
“I love this stuff. I love people. I love writing songs. I love singing it. I feel like I’ve never worked a day in my life. I’m having the time of my life out here,” Jelly Roll said.

Jelly Roll released his debut country album this past summer titled Whitsitt Chapel. The 13-track collection includes “Need A Favor,” the fan-favorite track “She,” and “Save Me” featuring labelmate Lainey Wilson.
The success of his debut country album has now led him to two GRAMMY nominations. Jelly Roll will attend the 2024 GRAMMY ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 4, as a nominee in both the Best New Artist and Best Country Duo / Group Performance (“Save Me” with Lainey Wilson) categories.
“I’m not sure if I’ll post this or not because I’m so emotional, but the greatest honor an artist could ever hear is that they’ve been nominated for a GRAMMY. I got to hear that this morning. I haven’t cried like this since my daddy died,” Jelly Roll said in a video posted to Instagram.
