You know it good when Keith is rendered speechless! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a reaction like this from him! Jelly Roll is the real deal & unapologetically himself! Him and his wife BunnieXO are the best!❤
This was absolutely fantastic song and a spectacularly good reaction it was hilarious to watch Keith get the smart mouth just knocked completely out of him with two words.
If you have not been told yet, his momma lovingly called him Jelly Roll when he was a youngster. Jelly even has stated he was a larger young boy and always been on the heavier side. Grew up outside of Nashville TN and as a teenager became a drug dealer. From age 15 to age 24, he spent those 10 years in the revolving door of the juvenile jails. He was involved in a crime that he was tried as an adult at age 15 and sent to adult prison. When he found out he became a father one day, he decided to change his life. Signed up and earned his GED before he was released. Started burning cd’s of his rap music selling them right off the spindles. Built a solid rap reputation and then found out he could actually sing, with Save Me being his first #1 and he has caught lightning in a bottle and has become Grammy nominated artist twice and has had several songs #1 on the rock charts and #1 on the country charts at the same time. Jelly Roll told God that if he helped him provide a future for his daughter, he would give God the stage every night. If you ever decide to go done his rabbit hole, you will find a very humble man working his ass off to create his dreams. Jelly Rolls first album was Whitsit Chapel the small Baptist church he attended in his younger years. Awesome story to know and share.
I think this might be my favorite reaction from y'all. The way Keith's entire demeanor changed in less than 3 words was epic. I heard "Son of a Sinner" first and was blown away by his voice so i went looking for something else and found this song and cried like a baby in the parking lot of my gym. I have watched loved ones deal with the exact emotion he describes. He conveys it so beautifully and fully that your heart just breaks. Oh and I'm WITH YOU on Comfortably Numb!
Middle of the day at work and I am crying like a baby. Thanks for helping me discover something amazing. I am going immediately to hear more from him. Amazing voice. Wow.
Great song and a great artist. He really turned his life around with the help of his wife. He went from being in and out of jail and being in and out of drugs to selling out arenas and stadiums. Some others I’d recommend from Jelly Roll are… Son of A Sinner Need A Favor Dead Man Walking
For reals this time. I really appreciate the direction he has taken his music. He wants it to help people and give them hope. A couple of others that I really like are "Son of a Sinner" and "Need a Favor". The comments on his videos show that his music is making an impact from all the comments saying that his music saved their life. He did a live performance of this song with Lainey Wilson and it brought a totally different dynamic to this song that I didn't know I needed.
First time watching the channel and loved watching you guys eat your preconceptions 3 seconds in. Much respect to to the "comfortably numb" comparison as I couldn't agree more. Jelly Rolls story is absolutely amazing, He's an amazing artist with such a broad spectrum of genres. This gentleman as killed it across the board and deserves any and all the success he's achieved. I am not sure you'll enjoy most his other tracks though might be a little out of your wheel house none the less the bourbon aspect definitely brought me on board! like you guys I'm open to hearing what you guys are all about and excited to go through some of your videos....
Son of a Sinner, by Jelly Roll. It was his first single in country music, and it was on the charts for like 20 weeks. I get chills everytime i hear it. Live is the best. I would recommend his performance on the Jimmy Kimmel show. The sound quality and his performance are incredible!!! Love the channel!!! You two are hilarious together.
John Popper mixed with Chris Stapleton! Oh my God, that is the perfect description! I think without looking his band was the Blues Travelers. Jelly Roll had a tough childhood with a mom who struggled with addiction. He spent years in and out of jail before coming to realize he wanted more. The performance of him and Craig Morgan live doing Craig's song Almost Home is a must.😊
I'm a recovering alcoholic this song hits me hard I'm 3 years sober now it doesn't bother me to much watching and listening to you taste bourbon I enjoy watching you guys react
I love Jelly Roll. He's got an amazing story and some amazing music. He calls his music Therapeutic Music and that really fits. He's got so many great songs. If These Tears Could Talk featuring his daughter Bailey is one you should check out. ❤❤❤❤ Great reaction
"We're gonna start this over and I'm gonna shut the fuck up" Bwahahah! When I saw the song, I knew how this was going to go. Keith not touching his bourbon during the song was very telling. Jelly Roll blew me away first time I heard this song. Great Vid!
Great reaction guys!! My husband sent me 'Dead man walking' and I.. felt it. So I listened to the next song, this one, I was crying before the 1st verse was done. This song is on one of my play lists, all the songs are dark, deep and highly emotional. It was a no brainer to add it.
Jellyroll is definitely playlist all the time. Other great songs from Jelly are She, need a favor, son of a sinner, and dancing with the devil. I am so glad you enjoyed him.
Thank you for this great reaction. Jelly Roll is amazing. And the first time I heard his voice I had the same reaction like you guys. Thank you bourbon broker. 😘 Other great songs of him are “son of a sinner” “need a favor” and “she”.
Lol! I love how quick y'all both shut up & paid attention to Jelly Roll! The live version of him & Lainey Wison singing this song together is just as good! I'm gonna love watching your facial expressions on that version too! Lol! Need more Jelly Roll! Do youselves a favor & react to more of Jelly Roll #INeedAFavor #SonOfASinner. I also want to see your guys point of view on Jason Aldean's new song & video #TryThatInASmallTown. I'm totally loving your reaction videos guys!
Keith, it did the same thing to me the first time I saw and heard him. I just sat there when the song was over and stared for like 5 min. You should listen to his newest release. "I need a Favor." Great job guys.
You should check out the live version of Jelly Roll doing "Only" and "Love the Heartless." He does them both in one session and it really showcases his vocal talent as well as writing abilities. Love him.
I heard Son of a Sinner first and it blew me away, and I've been amazed by him since. He performed this live with Lainey Wilson at the ACM's. Also his live performance of Neec a Favor at the CMT awards is definitely worth checking out.
I was listening to the intro and ya'll picking at the beginning of the video giggling to myself knowing he was about to knock your socks off and I must say that I was NOT disappointed! The looks on your faces when he started singing! Priceless! 😂😂😂
Your very welcome. And you don’t need to thank me. I wanted to see their faces when he starts singing. To see Jelly Roll live in concert is on my bucket list now.
Keith’s reaction throughout the song was priceless, but when jelly started singing, it was like holy shit I just made fun of this guy, open mouth, insert foot.
@@BourbonCountryReacts there is something very calming about sitting in the dark listening to the rain and songs with a very specific musical expression. For me it's almost like a reset or recalibration for my mind and attitude.
I would love to suggest Jason Aldeans new song, "Try That In A Small Town". It's a recent release and CMT has banned it from their channel. I would love to see y'all's reaction to it , especially Keith's.
He originally tried doing country but nobody would give him a chance. He started rapping to get his name big enough so he could start doing country music.
Watch Craig Morgan & Jelly Roll at the Grande Ole Opry. You'll get some of Jelly Rolls back history. A few other songs that are good are "Son of a Sinner" & "Need a favor".
I've been a fan of Jelly for over 6 years and it's great he is finally getting the recognition he deserves. He has a large catalog of rap rock and country
I love watching again and listening to Y'all before the freight train hits you. I love Kieth putting things in Dustin's head and Dustin commenting on how mean he was that night. I think every friend group has that guy. I would say if you can't figure out who it is, then it's probably you. But most of "Those Guys" know exactly what they are doing and REVEL in it.
Aussie combat vet This song sums up the relationship l had with my partner before she passed,l’m a completely broken & unfixable combat veteran from multiple downrange spin ups but right until the end she was the only person that never walked away from me 🇦🇺🇺🇸
This guy spent 5 years in jail as a young kid in a gang. He came out & was into Rap & Hip Hop & was successful, I guess. Then he switched to country & he's special, like Chris Stapleton. His newer hit 'Need a favor' is awesome & the video powerful. He has been welcomed warmly & performed on the last country awards show & sang this one with Lainey Wilson (The gal who sang with Hardy on 'Wait in the truck'). 'Son of a sinner' is the first one I heard from him. Love this guy.
Jelly Roll has another version of this song with Lainey Wilson, Also check out Jelly Roll song , music video "Need A Favor" the music video will get to you.
I really love ya'll reaction to this one!!! I loved how you were all being a little goofy before and hearing the first of it!! I rewatched it a few time because of the total shock on both of ya'll's face. I really do second, third of whatever number it is to listen to "Son of a Sinner". Also Even Angels Cry, but it may not be quite as much country as this one of Son of a Sinner.
Good morning, this is Craig Morgan. Y’all have reacted to a few of his songs and liked them. In appreciation of him continuing his service can you please take a request? I don’t have a bribe right now but if you’ve got time can you please check out his song Almost Home? Thanks whether you do it or not, you’ve got the most real reaction channel out there. This is a video of him re-enlisting into the reserves after already serving 17 years in the Army. Also checkout Jelly Roll’s history and life story, you’ll be amazed! Awesome person and he’s buddies with Craig too.
Been a fan of Jelly Roll for years. Originally I had heard him do a ten minute freestyle rap on RU-vid over 10 years ago. His music is beyond rock or country or rap, all of which he does exceptionally well. His last album was more rock oriented and every song on it is excellent. I would consider it the best album in any genre in more than a decade. A Nashville native, Jelly is best friends with Struggle Jennings and good friends with Upchurch, Adam Calhoun among others. A good song to react to from him is his collaboration with Struggle on the song 'Cowboys' which is a take on the Waylon Jennings song 'Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys'. As much as I am a huge fan of country music in all of its forms I personally listen to more of the many earlier Jelly Roll rap songs due to his unique talent. Songs like When I get Rich, Fall in the Fall, Creature and 🎶"Yippee Kai Yay, Yippee Kai Yo, the weed made me high, the liquor made me low"🎶
I've never seen a reaction like this from you guy's! Well done! Don't judge a book really has some weight to it! No pun intended!..lol..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸👋🤠
You guys should check out Jelly Roll and Craig Morgan's performance of Craig's song, 'Almost Home' at the Opry. Jelly said that while he was in jail, listening to 'Almost Home' changed his life. And you can't go wrong with Craig Morgan.
I’ve only hear one other of his songs called Son Of A Sinner on the radio and I remember being completely blown away by it. Hope you guys’ll give it a listen.
I have to admit I watched your reaction a couple times. Lol 😂 I loved it and I’m still glad I did good with the song. The bourbon was all Stephen, so part of the home run was his doing. And he knows I appreciate him so much. 😊 In exactly one week we will leave for the US and we managed to get tickets to Chris Stapleton and the grand ole opry. Jelly roll is on my bucket list too. But you can only do so much in three weeks. I still have your German whiskey here but I’ll send this after our vacation. And I’m so glad I didn’t mess up. Germans freaking love rules. Lmao 😂 Thanks again for this amazing reaction.
@@benyola11 and honestly if you only have 2 comments on there channel and you are judging them then please don’t comment. They were being themselves them heaped praise down on the singer. So I am guessing you feel like a black sheep calling a black sheep black?
Jelly Roll is super versatile , country, rap, rock soul, he has something for every mood. I believe he wrote this for his wife. Here's some songs i think y'all would like. Try , ONLY , I NEED YOU, & NOTHING LEFT AT ALL. Idk if you've listened to any UPCHURCH, u might like his song NECKS TOO RED. Love your reactions!!
He's a great talent and can sing and rap. I love his story and what he has overcome. His song with Brantley Gilbert "Son of the Dirty South" is a banger
