Green hopes new CD "Ain't My Last Rodeo"{

Monday, August 28, 2023 – Riley Green today announced his sophomore album, "Ain't My Last Rodeo," will be released Oct. 13 via BMLG Records.

The Alabama native put a dozen songs on the release. Luke Combs is featured on "Different 'Round Here," the current single, which was first out in 2019. The song also was the title track of his debut. Jelly Roll guests on "Copenhagen In A Cadillac."

The title comes from the track "My Last Rodeo," which Green wrote solo following one of the final conversations he had with his late Grandaddy Buford while in the hospital. Buford Green was the brains behind converting his great-grandparents' home into the Golden Saw Music Hall and is credited for his grandson's musical appreciation, education and inspiration. On his mother's side, his grandfather, Lyndon, can be attributed for Riley's love of the outdoors, heard in tracks like "Mississippi or Me."

"I was fortunate enough to grow up within about three miles of my grandparents, so they were a huge part of my growing up and who I am—and this album is a lot of who I am," said Green. "This is really the first time I was able to really take my time, write and record songs that really felt like a cohesive album. I'm really proud of it and want to thank the fans for all of their encouragement. I hope y'all enjoy it."

Green also covered Tim McGraw's "Damn Country Music," which will be available on Friday. Green already released several songs he'd been testing for fans on social media, including "Mississippi or Me," "Raised Up Right" and "God Made A Good Ol' Boy."

CD reviews for Riley Green

Riley Green is one of the guys that gets turned up loud whenever one of his songs comes over the radio. Most of his singles have substance and style. "Behind The Bar" is a small package, only seven songs long, but it still contains a few musical gems. In short, it's mostly a volume-cranker. One element running throughout this short set is plenty of country fiddle. Even on "Put 'Em On Mine," which otherwise rocks, there's enough fiddle to still give it a country feel. ...
CD review - Different 'Round Here Listening to the way Riley Green strings together a collection of heartfelt country songs may make you wish more artists did it this way. In fact, I'm sure Hank done it this way. If you think lyrics like the ones to "Numbers On The Cars," are exceptions, "Different 'Round Here" is mostly more of the same good thing. With the song "Different 'Round Here," Green sings a Southern pride song, but it's one that goes much deeper than a regional affection for sweet tea. ...
CD review - Get That Man a Beer EP Riley Green's "Get That Man A Beer" EP includes a strong quartet of modern country songs. None better than "Numbers On The Cars," though. It's the perfectly appropriate song to pull out whenever arguing the case for what real country music does best. Chronicling the trials and tribulations of an Alzheimer's-afflicted father, it's difficult to imagine any other genre bettering this one. Its various lyrical scenarios spotlight the confusing inconsistencies ...
