Jelly Roll, Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker: What They Created Together
Details are sparse, and there isn’t a lot of information to go around, but Jelly Roll has a couple of new collaborators. Apparently, he’s been working with Machne Gun Kelly and blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. Weridly, the new music involves the late John Denver.
Both Jelly and Machine Gun and Travis Barker posted a video clip collage on Instagram showing them working together on music in what looks like a modest home, although the location isn’t disclosed. In the clip, you can hear the two singing what sounds like a familiar John Denver song, “Country Roads,” in which the lyrics are changed.
At the end of the video clip, a guy who works for one of the musicians comes on and says they are working on the music in Nashville, Tennessee, joking that it is called “Kelly Roll.”
Jelly, Machine Gun Kelly and Barker captioned the video clip, “We worked on “Lonely Road” for 2 years, 8 different studios, 4 different countries, changed the key 4 times, and this Friday you’ll hear we finally got it right.”
Jelly Roll’s glamorous life as a country superstar just hit a new high as he now stars in the music video for his Twisters‘ movie song “Dead End Road.”
In the music video, Jelly drives down a dirt road in a huge pickup truck and runs from twisters, adding “action movie star” to his many talents.
“Dead Man Road’s” lyrics include: “Cause that highway to hell is the road I’m on / I need to turn around before I’m too far gone / If I’m ever gonna make it on them streets of gold / I gotta quit livin’ on a dead end road / I’m a red-linin’, low-ridin’ anything but law-abidin’ / Feels too good to quit / I’m runnin’ off the edge, they say that I’m a wreck / Diggin’ me deeper than six.”
Jelly Roll posted a clip of the new video to Instagram.
In a second Instagram post, the country star posted a different clip, writing, “My new single, ‘Dead End Road,’ from the Twisters Movie Soundtrack, is out now.”
Many of Jelly’s die-hard fans reacted to the post, including one who said, “Great inspiration.” Another fan commented, “i went from watching you do freestyles on YouTube as a kid and no one knowing you, to the whole world knows you now and you’re still killing it.”
