Album Trends: A lot of the album is about personal struggles and overcoming them. Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) writes on every track but collaborates with a variety of co-writers. The songs heavily rely on acoustic and electric guitar and they include a variety of tempos. Some are more stripped back while others have electronic beats in the back of them them mixed with country instruments. All containand focus on Jelly Roll’s powerhouse vocals and strong, impactful lyrics.
1. : Halfway To Hell
Writers: Jesse Frasure, Jessie Jo Dillon, Jason DeFord, Matt Jenkins
Duration: 2:58
Key: D Minor
Tempo: 107 BPM
Subject: This song is about Jelly Roll explaining that he is a religious man who has done a lot of sinning. For this reason he contemplates whether he is closer to Heaven or Hell at the moment.
Music: Intense acoustic guitar, chain sounds, and kick drum. Choruses very built up with more electric guitar, banjo, and more filled in drums. Electric guitar solo after second chorus.
Notes: I like the inclusion of the chain sound throughout the song.
