Rogan interviews Jelly Roll again

Several years ago, I had a subscription to a streaming service called Hulu and one night I watched a documentary about Jelly Roll, a rock n roll, CW, funky fat performer.  It was an engaging story--fat kid grows up to be a modestly good performer and along the way becomes a felon.  Fast forward, he became obese, but still quite popular.  He had periodically dieted but the first time he appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast he had lost about 120 lbs--now he's lost over 300 and so this interview is about how his life has changed and how he's controlled his addiction.   I'm not sure when it was recorded, but it aired around December 10.

I asked Co-pilot what his style is called: "Jelly Roll is a multifaceted performer known for his unique blend of country, rap, gospel, and Southern rock music. He has gained significant recognition in the country music scene, winning awards such as the CMT Music Awards for "Son of a Sinner" and "Need a Favor" and being nominated for a Grammy Award for his album "Beautifully Broken". Additionally, he has made appearances in WWE, showcasing his passion for the sport and performing at major events. Jelly Roll's music often reflects his personal experiences, resonating with fans who appreciate his authentic storytelling and soulful delivery.

A painful twang at least to my ears

So many singers have this sound: someone is sitting on his chest to place a clothes pin on his nose.
It seems to be both secular and religious genre. Latest one I heard was on Catholic radio, but that painful twang can be heard just about universally, with either acoustic or electric guitar, whether singing to God or the girlfriend.

Loving my "new" Easy Loving" CD

I got a 2 disk Time Life Superstars of Country Easy Loving (2005) at a yard sale in Lakeside for $1.00. There were several others--wish I'd bought them, too. Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Lynn Anderson, Crystal Gayle, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Rich, etc.
