Riley Green: singer, songwriter and Roads Scholar | Music City Minute

Do you remember Ole Hank Jr. singing about country folks who raise their young’uns to live off the land, say grace and ma’am? Well, I’d say Riley Green is most certainly one of those polite, country boys (who can survive), described in the song. In fact, I believe that home training helps Green maintain refinement around questionable company. No doubt the CMA winner offered up praise for those frilly knickers missing his face. Now, in a perfect world, the "Worst Way" singer would prefer to play shows with zero aerial artifacts and zero fights. However, weirdly, both of those scenarios have taught the singer what some may consider *important* lessons. For example, Green’s remarks toward all the liberally launched lingerie he gets, Green says: “We were gonna donate them to wherever you donate bras to. I guess because, what I learned was…there was like people commenting…saying they were really expensive. See, I didn’t know that!” Next, Mr. Duckman shares his observations regarding fights: “I’ve seen a lot of extensions go missing…and they got the wrong girl’s hair when they’re putting it back in…it’s a whole thing.” “Well, I’m learning, I’m learning on the road…it's like, I can work at Ulta now!” Mercy sakes, I bet that itty bitty, barefoot, Alabama farm boy never dreamed of earning a bachelor's degree in subjects such as Performance Arts 101: A Master Class in Touring.
