Riley Green, a rising star in the country music scene, has decided to put his unique touch on a hidden gem from 2015. Inspired by Tim McGraw's music, Green felt compelled to revive the under-appreciated track, "Damn Country Music," making it the title song for his latest album. Surprisingly, the song was never released to radio, leaving fans unaware of its existence. Now, Green is contemplating whether to take a risk and promote this heartfelt ballad, despite its repetitive use of the word "damn."

While the decision awaits, Green believes that performing this song live will undoubtedly be a remarkable experience.

This conviction is one of the reasons he chose to launch his new album, "Ain't My Last Rodeo," with this powerful track. Collaborating with acclaimed songwriters Cary Barlowe, Josh Thompson, and Jessi Alexander, Green was introduced to the song by Alexander herself. Additionally, the album includes notable features from artists such as Luke Combs and Jelly Roll.

Friday the 13th marked the release of Green's highly-anticipated album. Reflecting on his journey, the Alabama native explains that the music industry, despite its allure, can be grueling.

The constant travel and time spent away from home can take its toll. In a recent interview with Taste of Country, Green unintentionally emphasized this point when asked about his dating life. He admits it is challenging to settle down due to his demanding schedule on the road. However, he remains grateful for the opportunities that come his way.

In 2024, Green will embark on his "Ain't My Last Rodeo" tour, alongside Tracy Lawrence, one of his musical idols. This tour is a dream come true for the talented artist. Although his love life may suffer due to the sacrifices needed for his music career, Green remains optimistic. As he humorously concludes, acquiring a dog is the best solution he can currently offer.
