Jelly Roll - Whitsitt Chapel

Debut country album Whitsitt Chapel from Jelly Roll

Breakout singer Jelly Roll is credited as a writer on every song of his debut country album Whitsitt Chapel, and he enlisted an all-star roster of co-writers from the Nashville songwriting world. Some of the industry's most in-demand writers appear on the track list, including Jesse Frasure, Jessie Jo Dillon, Hillary Lindsey, Hunter Phelps and Zach Crowell.

Jelly also co-wrote with multiple big-name artists for Whitsitt Chapel. Hardy, Miranda Lambert and Ashley McBryde all lent their pens to various cuts on the project, and Brantley Gilbert co-wrote "Behind Bars" — a collaboration that Gilbert also sings on, along with Struggle Jennings.

Whitsitt Chapel also includes plenty of other collaborations. In addition to his team-up with Gilbert and Jennings, Jelly Roll's new album includes the Lainey Wilson duet version of "Save Me" that the pair debuted at the 2023 ACM Awards, as well as a duet with Nashville-based rapper Yelawolf called "Unlive."

Fans have already heard several of the tracks on Whitsitt Chapel, including "Save Me," "She" and his current single "Need a Favor," but there's plenty of brand-new material on this album, too. Jelly Roll has previously said that much of the track list was written over the past two years, when he got inspired for a new direction for the project after watching his teenage daughter Bailee grow her faith and ultimately make the decision to get baptized.
