It's Friday and that means it's time for some comfort food.

This week's selection comes from the world of country music.

Kinda.

After spending an hour listening to Jelly Roll’s music, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

I had no idea who he was until I saw the face-tattooed rapper turn country music star win CMT's Best New Artist award.

He had a message for all of us.

Despite your tribulations, success is on the other side of it.

There is something poetic about a 39-year-old man winning New Artist of the Year.I don't know where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell you to keep going, baby.I want to tell you success is on the other side of it.I want to tell you it's going to be okay.I want to tell you that the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason.Because what's in front of you is so much more important than what's behind you.Let's party, Nashville!

And that, my friends, is what joy sounds like.
