Jelly Roll is continuing to "spread love" wherever he goes.
This week, the "Save Me" singer made a stop at a maximum security prison in Oregon, where he gave the inmates the performance of a lifetime.
While at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, Jelly Roll performed a setlist that included Johnny Cash 's "Folsom Prison Blues," which the late icon famously performed at the prison just north of Sacramento, Calif., in 1968.
Playing his own rendition of the song, Jelly Roll, 39, personalized the lyrics with "Oregon State Prison" while addressing the fact that it has been twenty years since prisoners were allowed to have live music in the yard.
"For the first time in 20 f—king years they have brought music to the prison yard," he could be heard telling the crowd in a video of the performance posted to Instagram .
Jelly, who was incarcerated in his youth, personally related to the experience of the inmates at the prison, telling them, "I wrote my first song behind the walls. It never feels better than to come back behind the wall and sing a song for y’all."
"If you love drawing, if you love writing, if you love poetry, if you love listening to music, playing the guitar, I just pray that you put that passion into it and live it as much as you possibly can," the "Need a Favor" crooner added.
Sharing the post to Instagram, Jelly Roll wrote, "Just trying to spread love," while tons of his fans chimed in to applaud his actions, including one woman whose son is actually currently incarcerated at the Oregon facility.
"Thank you 🙌 my son is in there and you made a big impact yesterday for those men!! Much love to you Jelly Roll! ❤️" she wrote under his Instagram post.
"That is the coolest thing that ever happened in oregon corrections," someone else added.
"How could you not be a fan of Jelly," someone else wrote in praise of the country str. "We can take a lesson from you man.Proud to know you."
