Song:There Was This Girl
Album:Different 'Round Here
Riley Green started out as a reality show contestant. But his goal was to get into country music and he scored with his 2018 album Different 'Round Here and the single There Was This Girl. He was born Oct. 18, 1988 in Jacksonville, AL. His grandfather owned a local club and taught him to play guitar. After attending Jacksonville State University, Green moved to Nashville and released a 2013 EP. He then appeared on season four of the CMT competition show Redneck Island. This show was hosted and produced by Stone Cold Steve Austin from the WWE. I don't watch these kind of shows but I gather that it was similar to Survivor. It ran for five seasons. Season five was an alumni edition which Green won. He released a couple more EPs and he signed with Big Machine for the 2018 album Different 'Round Here. The album was produced by session guitarist Dann Huff who also played guitar on the album. There Was This Girl reached #11 on the Country Singles chart. Green wrote that and most of the songs on the album with frequent songwriting partner Erik Dylan. He says the video was shot by real fans at a club in his home state of Alabama. His single I Wish Grandpas Never Died reached #12 on the Country Singles chart. Green wrote it with both of his grandfathers. The album is available as a digital download. He was on tour but obviously that has been cancelled. He recently performed live from his home on Facebook. When this pandemic is over, I'm sire Green will return to touring and recording. He's off to a good start. Here's the video of There Was This Girl by Riley Green.
