Over the past few years, Jelly Roll has served as a chronicler and salve for many who have faced a range of ailments, be it depression, addiction, anxiety, broken hearts or shattered dreams, with songs like “Son of a Sinner,” “Need a Favor,” and his latest, “I Am Not Okay.” His latest, the energetic “Dead End Road,” is the latest release from the 29-track group. Twisters: The Album Soundtrack.

“I’m just bloodstained, folded hands, throwing back the milligrams,” he sings on “Dead End Road,” acknowledging the incessant urge to live life on the edge, regardless of the consequences. Jelly Roll (real name Jason DeFord) wrote “Dead End Road” with Jaxson Free, Taylor Phillips and Brock Berryhill.

Jelly Roll’s newly published contribution to Twisters: The Album The soundtrack follows a solid list of songs from the country music-packed soundtrack. Luke Combs kicked it off earlier this year with the song “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” while artists such as Bailey Zimmerman, Miranda Lambert, Conner Smith and Megan Moroney are also featured on the set.

Twisterswhich hits theaters on July 19, follows the hit 90s film and is about a retired tornado hunter/meteorologist who returns to track tornadoes across Oklahoma. The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos.

The release of Jelly Roll’s song just before the film’s theatrical release is fitting, as the Tennessee native’s rise to top act shows no signs of slowing down. He’s scored four No. 1 country airplay hits on the Billboard charts and extended his 2024 headlining Beautifully Broken Tour, which runs through November and features a slate of openers including Warren Zeiders, Billboard Hot 100-topping artist Shaboozey, Ernest, Alexandra Kay and Allie Colleen.
