Bless his heart... he really tried. Of course, Peyton Manning was one of the hosts of the CMA Awards last night alongside Lainey Wilson and Luke Bryan, and he did a solid job... I mean, these days, the CMA Awards aren't what they used to be, but Peyton has charisma and everyone seems to like him, so it works well enough. And after his hosting duties last night, he made a surprise appearance at Losers, a popular bar in Midtown in Nashville, but he wasn't just there to drink... he actually stepped up to the mic and gave the crowd a performance of David Allan Coe’s country classic “You Never Even Called Me by My Name.” Now obviously, Peyton is a much better football player than he is a singer, but it was pretty funny to see him get up there and give it a go... he clearly doesn't take himself too seriously, which says a lot for someone who is as rich and famous as he is. Of course, the song was originally written by Steve Goodman and John Prine, though Prine did not want to be credited as a writer on the song because he thought it was “goofy” and didn’t want to offend the country music community, as it was originally written as more of a parody than anything else. Goodman released the song on his self-titled 1971 debut album, but of course, it was made most famous by Coe when he included it on his 1975 Once Upon a Rhyme album. It peaked at #8 on the Billboard country singles charts later that year. I'm actually quite impressed that Peyton knew all the words and really gave it everything he had... I mean, what else are you supposed to do after you host the CMA Awards? Peyton has pretty good taste, too: @theonlydemunjones Peyton Manning rocked it last night! #peytonmanning #fyp ♬ original sound - DEMUNDEMUNJONESJONES In terms of big winners at the show, Morgan Wallen took home top honors with the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, though he wasn't there in person to accept it.

Jelly Roll out here supporting inmates even at the CMA Awards. The rapper-turned-country singer is well known for the work he does to support those who are locked up, from visiting with inmates in jails around the country while on tour to helping establish a music program in the Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center right here in Nashville. Of course the issue is one that's personal for Jelly Roll (whose real name is Jason DeFord) after the superstar spent much of his younger years behind bars himself. He was convicted of robbery in 2003 after being arrested as a juvenile, and sentenced to 8 years in prison. He was released after serving a year of his sentence, but was picked up on drug charges in 2008 and forced to serve another year behind bars. Since then, he's managed to turn his life around and dedicate his career to not only making amends for his past behavior, but helping others avoid making the same mistakes he made. And now he's even supporting one of his fellow country music stars who recently found himself in jail. Jamey Johnson was arrested this past weekend in Williamson County, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville, on charges of speeding and felony marijuana possession. The singer was released on Monday, and appeared at the CMA Awards himself last night to pay tribute to the legendary George Strait, despite the fact that Johnson is potentially facing 6 years in prison for his charges. (Which is ridiculous, but that's another story). So maybe Jelly Roll just felt like showing his friend some support, or maybe he understood how Jamey felt when he was picked up on drug charges. Or maybe he's just continuing his work supporting those who are facing time behind bars. Who knows. But whatever the reason, viewers of the CMA Awards quickly noticed that Jelly Roll was wearing a Jamey Johnson patch on his jacket during last night's ceremonies. https://twitter.com/SoulwellPublish/status/1859515345733620134 Respect. Of course I think Jamey's doing alright for himself despite his legal troubles. He recently released his first studio album in 14 years, Midnight Gasoline. And ahead of the album's release, he spoke about his own battles with addiction while revealing that he hasn't had alcohol, and stopped smoking weed for a while too: "I think that lasted about eight years. Nine years. In that time period, it was all about sobriety. And with a sober mind, I’m able to do things like get a pilot’s license, manage a business, start a product line. I’m sober for the most part, but every now and then, I may still break out a joint if I’m writing or something like that. But I don’t play games with the alcohol." It's a journey that mirrors the one faced by Jelly Roll, who has discussed his own struggles with addiction and learning the limits of what he can and can't handle. (Although Jelly Roll got his jail time out of the way earlier in his career but hey, we're all on different timelines). Either way, it was cool to see Jelly rocking the Jamey Johnson patch on his jacket at the show last night - and obviously it was great to see Jamey on stage paying tribute to King George. @turtlebutt79 #jameyjohnson @JameyJohnsonOfficial #turtlesworld ♬ original sound - Turtlebutt
