Jelly Roll’s rise from underground hip-hop artist to one of country music’s most celebrated voices has been nothing short of extraordinary. Following the massive success of Whitsitt Chapel in 2023 — which earned him three CMT Music Awards and even a Grammy nomination — the Antioch, Tennessee native has proven he’s here to stay.
Now, with the release of his highly anticipated follow-up album Beautifully Broken on October 11, Jelly Roll is riding another career high. The record quickly soared to the top of the charts, cementing his place as one of the genre’s most authentic storytellers.
But it’s his recent Amazon Live performance of “Don’t Want To” with country superstar Keith Urban that has fans buzzing. The duet was nothing short of spellbinding. Jelly Roll’s gritty, soul-baring vocals collided with Urban’s electrifying guitar work, creating a performance that felt both heartbreaking and transcendent.
Every note carried raw emotion, their harmonies blending into a haunting tapestry of love, loss, and resilience. As the final chord rang out, the audience sat in stunned silence before erupting into thunderous applause.
This unforgettable collaboration didn’t just showcase Jelly Roll’s versatility and Urban’s brilliance — it redefined the song itself, leaving fans with a performance that will be talked about for years to come.
