For Green, "Jesus Saves"
Monday, November 11, 2024 – Riley Green debuted a video last week for his song "Jesus Saves" off his recently released third studio album, "on't Mind If I Do."
The song tells the life story of a homeless veteran with the video featuring a stripped back performance from Green alongside visuals that portray the struggles and journey of the protagonist.
Green will donate to Folds of Honor from his charitable fund, Buford Bonds which was created in 2023 to support nonprofit organizations around the country.
Written solely by Green, "Jesus Saves" is Inspired by a man he'd routinely see on a street corner in Nashville with a cardboard sign. Green took pen to paper imagining all of the things that could have happened in a person's life that could have led to homelessness.

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. ...
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.
