I’ve known Riley Green before he was Riley Green. He’s been a known star here in these parts for years. I’ve been a fan for a long time…going back to Jack State days….I still remember countless record executives packing Iron City years ago as they were all trying to sign him. I just watched and enjoyed the process as everyone that loves Country music was finally getting Riley and his music.
His new song is Different ‘Round Here features his buddy Luke Combs and it comes out in a few weeks. I heard an advance a few days ago and wow, this is awesome. It reminds me up growing up in Alabama and all the things we hold dear. Some of my favorite lyrics…
‘Round here fast is how the grass grows
Lost is what you find on a back road
Proof’s in the whiskey, red’s in the dirt
And hard work stops at the fence row
We stand for the flag and if you don’t like it we don’t care
‘Cause we do things a little different ’round here
Almost sounds like a classic Haggard song, right?
You can pre-order it now and trust you’ll want to. I can’t wait to start playing on WZZK…it’s classic Duckman!
