Jelly Roll stood under the spotlight, gripping the microphone with trembling hands as his voice cracked with emotion. The air in the arena was heavy and still, and the crowd fell silent, sensing something powerful was about to happen. In front of a sold-out audience, he sang My List in honor of the late country legend Toby Keith. Every lyric carried deep meaning as Jelly Roll poured his heart into the tribute. He dedicated the performance to Toby’s family, saying the song reminded him to be a better person, and most of all, a better father.
