Jelly Roll - Smoking Section (Live)

It seemed only fitting during the quarantine that I would perform some of my favorite songs to help y'all get through these times. This installment features a song that means a lot to me, 'Smoking Section'. The boys and I played these things live without a click track and I hope y'all enjoy the change up. I've always felt making music was very therapeutic for me, and I hope someone who needs this hears it.

We filmed these at the Amber Sound in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm a sucker for a vibe in music — that feeling when a sound completely shifts the mood of a room. This vibe was more like an indie rock house show than a studio, which left me feeling inspired. Let me know what y'all think in the comments below.

My new album WHITSITT CHAPEL is out now!

Walking through life I’ve learned that pain is the common denominator between all of us. When I wrote ‘Smoking Section’ I was speaking to anyone out there going through the loss of a loved one. It’s hard when someone you love leaves, but love is so powerful that the memories and their spirit will never fade.

This song is deeper then most understand and that's facts!

I buried my Daddy seven years ago today. I was just scrolling looking for some healing jams and found this. I love it❤️. He was a good Daddy, and I sure miss him. Thanks, Jelly Roll.

I lost my husband in March 2022 and I feel like I'm lost and there's days that I don't even want to wake up, and his 1-year is coming up and there's days where I'm waiting for him to walk into the door and you don't even show up. Thank you for this song because it means a whole lot for a lot of people

My soul mate just lost his battle to depression, he committed suicide last week. He loved your music. It's now my outlet for grief. Thank you for reaching so many people. You have no idea what your music means to me.

Love how Jelly keeps it real with everything he does. He has helped me stay sober and deal with my pain and sorrow. Real is rare, and he's a definite rare breed. I'm glad to be in a time where he exists. Much love, Jelly. Please keep dropping quality shit.
