Jelly Roll is at a prime in his career in country music and is one of the most asked-for artists today by other artists looking for someone to collaborate with. Just in the last week or so, he's already signed on for a collaboration with Kane Brown. In the last year, he collaborated with Riley Green, Cody Johnson, his buddy Lainey Wilson, and many more.

Jelly has another new collaboration, this time with a heavy metal band called Falling in Reverse. He also appears in their Western-themed music video.

Jelly's wife Bunnie posted some photos from the day of the shooting where her famous husband is dressed in all black cowboy clothing, complete with side arms.

Bunnie posted some clips from the day of shooting, where she is also dressed in cowboy black. She wrote on Instagram, "Such a fun day Thanks again for having us! @saraya @ronaldradkey Go listen or watch the video right meow @fallinginreverse."

Bunnie posted several photos from the shoot in a previous Instagram post, writing, "He's country, I'm western. When my two worlds collide. What an amazing day w/ family! @ronaldradkey @saraya Thank you both for having us in the video & Chachi! Not to mention how hot are @msblairewhite & @gabbituft in it?"

She added, "This is one of my fave songs - y'all go stream it 'All My Life' - @fallinginreverse ft. Daddy Roll - OUT NOW."

The video shows Jelly, dressed in black as a cowboy, singing in a jail cell. He then gets out of jail and partners with another bad guy to rob a bank in the Old West. Jelly then takes the stage on Old West Street, singing for patrons.

The music video is laced with f-words, so note the content.

Even though it is CMA Fest in his hometown and he performs at Nissan Stadium's big stage tomorrow night (6/8), Jelly Roll made the trek to Michigan last night, where he joined Eminem on stage. Eminem made a surprise appearance at a concert celebrating the grand reopening of the Michigan Central Station in Detroit.

Jelly joined the rapper, accompanied by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, to perform a cover of Eminem's "Sing for the Moment" (which samples Aerosmith's "Dream On").

Along with Eminem, the concert included performances from Detroit natives, including Jack White, Diana Ross, Big Sean, Illa J, Kierra Sheard, Theo Parrish, Slum Village, The Clark Sisters, Sky Jetta, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Jelly Roll has become a country music sensation, topping the country charts, winning his first CMA award, and being nominated for a couple of GRAMMY Awards, one in the all-genre New Artist category and the other in the Best Country Duo/Group for his collaboration "Save Me" with Lainey Wilson.

Everyone, including his fellow country stars, is talking about him. Luke Bryan told us his thoughts on Jelly when we interviewed him recently. He said, "Jelly Roll and I have been at some events together. We hung out at a backstage festival a month and a half ago briefly. I think what Jelly Roll embodies and represents is something really, really special. When I'm around him, the way he holds himself. You are just drawn to him. He's such a star in that role."

Bryan added, "Every time I'm around the guy, he's just so intriguing and interesting. I think his form of country music speaks to a potentially forgotten box of people in country music, and he's able to really speak to that crowd."

He continued, "What makes him special is, as a fan, you get to see into his world, which is a world of a lot of people, and I think that's what you have to do to rise where he has risen. To speak to people and tell your story honestly. He tells his story the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I think that's what people love about him. You know, life's journey is not all squeaky, clean, and beautiful, with no bumps in the road. I think he lets a lot of people not feel alone."

It's been a whirlwind of a year for the native Nashvillian. Jelly took fan questions on his Insta Stories not long ago and touched on several subjects, including his mental health, after wrapping his headlining "Backroad Baptism Tour" and why he is going without his phone through the end of the year.

When a fan asked about his mental health, Jelly replied, "This is probably too honest, but exhausted and unstable. Definitely when I get through the holidays, and I've got a lot of stuff to do between now and the holidays, but when I get through the holidays, I really need to take some personal time."

Jelly Roll talked about the importance of therapy in a recent interview on Comedy Central's The Daily Show. Jelly described himself as an "old-school Southern man." He noted that his relationship with God and faith are also key parts of his evolution.

Jelly added that he believes in "God and therapy." He said he is "extremely open-minded" in his "old age." Jelly offered, "I quit searching to be happy, and I started searching to be useful." That's when everything changed for him, and he strives to "be a man of service" and to help people.

We all know his country hit songs like "Son of A Sinner," "Need A Favor," and the duet remix of his song "Save Me" with Lainey Wilson. As we continued celebrating this unique and gracious artist, we thought we would get familiar with some of his songs before he made such a significant mark in country music.

"Dead Man Walking" (2021)

This hard rock song was released two years ago from his Ballads of the Broken album. That album is the first major-label album by Jelly Roll. "Dead Man Walking," released as a single, reached number one on the US Mainstream Rock chart. The album also included "Son of a Sinner," his first country chart-topper.

"Smoking Section" (2015)

This song comes from his 2015 album, Therapeutic Music 5. The song talks about smoking weed and being in jail. In the song, Jelly does a lot of rapping along with singing the chorus, which includes the lyrics, "I hope that Heaven has a smoking section/ I hope that Heaven has a smoking section/ When it's said and done and we're all gone/ I hope they got a place that we can blow / I hope that Heaven has a smoking section." Jelly's mom appears in the music video.

"Wheels Fall Off" (2017)

This song came off of Jelly's 2017 album, "Addiction Kills." The music video for the song has over 53 million views and features his wife, Bunnie Xo. The couple were married in 2016. The song and video include a lot of swear words, sexual situations, and guns.

"Hate Goes On" - (2017)

This song also comes from his album, Addiction Kills. The music video for the song starts with Jelly in a chair getting his hair cut and shaved. Much of the music video was filmed in Sally's Famous Kitchen in Jelly's home neighborhood, a suburb of Nashville: Antioch.
