Jelly Roll Delivers Emotional Tribute To Toby Keith With Sentimental Ballad

Jelly Roll delivered a heartfelt performance of one of Toby Keith ’s most sentimental hits throughout his decades-long career . The Whitsitt Chapel star covered “My List” during the Toby Keith: American Icon show hosted at Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The pre-recorded tribute show is set to air on Wednesday evening (August 28).

Keith released “My List” on his 13-track album, Pull My Chain , in 2001. That album also included “I’m Just Talking’ About Tonight,” “I Wanna Talk About Me,” and more. A preview of Jelly Roll’s soon-to-air “My List” performance shows other artists singing along in the audience and Keith’s wife, Tricia Lucus , dabbing tears from her eyes. Keith, who died earlier this year after a years-long battle with stomach cancer, is also survived by his three children, Krystal Keith , Shelley Covel Rowland and Stelen Keith Covel .

“Go for a walk, say a little prayer/ Take a deep breath of mountain air/ Put on my glove and play some catch/ It's time that I make time for that/ Wade the shore and cast a line/ Look up an old lost friend of mine/ Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss/ Start livin', that's the next thing on my list”

Other performers who took the stage in Keith’s honor include Trace Adkins , Priscilla Block , Luke Bryan , Eric Church , Jordan Davis , Scotty Emerick , Brantley Gilbert , Riley Green , HARDY , Tyler Hubbard , Jamey Johnson , Krystal Keith , Ella Langley , Mac McAnally , Ashley McBryde , Parker McCollum , Darius Rucker , Carrie Underwood , Clay Walker and Lainey Wilson . The event supported The Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Korral and Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt with a portion of the proceeds, per a previously-issued press release.

Toby Keith: American Icon will air as a two-hour television special on NBC on Wednesday, August 28 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET.
