• 1:30
  just kid. You know. We were just in the studio finishing up,
• 1:33
  finishing up the album, and uh just you know, I was like,

• 1:45
  yeah, this this is this is crazy. This is the one you just
• 1:48
  put out the album to talk about the album that came out last week.
• 1:51
  Obviously you have a bunch of cool collapse on that too. Yeah, the
• 1:55
  album is. You know, we've been working on it for like a year
• 1:57
  and a half. I was able to get some of my you know,
• 2:00
  favorite artists on there. Noah Cyrus, who's like I'm a huge fan of
• 2:04
  and Big Exa Plug who I'm also a h fan of. Paul Cotin,
• 2:07
  who I was able to see live like a couple of years back. To
• 2:10
  be able to give someone like him, you know, I think he's like
• 2:13
  an underground kind of like there's a lot of underground X on the album,
• 2:15
  which is what I'm you know, is what I'm about. I love the
• 2:19
  underground. I love this stuff that's under the scene. And speaking of albums,
• 2:23
  how did the whole Beyonce think come about? You have what two songs
• 2:24
  on the Beyonce album? Yeah? Yeah, how did that all come about?
• 2:29
  That's obviously a superhistoric hell man, I mean I couldn't tell you man,
• 2:32
  I don't even know how something like that happens. I mean, that's
• 2:36
  a that's like a dream within itself. You know, I'm like, I'm
• 2:38
  waiting to just wake up from all of this. Honestly. You know,
• 2:42
  who who would you love to have do like a remix to Country out or
• 2:47
  Country I mean it's a it's a crazy question now because I've had you know,
• 2:53
  I've asked. I've asked a couple of people, you know what I
• 2:54
  mean. It's like I've talked to everybody I want to get on the song
• 2:58
  I've talked to. Maybe the timing doesn't workout or but you know, I
• 3:01
  can't really say say too much. That ruined the surprise. You know.
• 3:05
  I'm sure it's gonna happen. But I'm sure a lot of artists have also
• 3:07
  been hitting you up too after you know it came out and stuff. Yeah,
• 3:08
  man, I saw. I forgot who the interview was with, but
• 3:12
  you were talking about the song back that Acid by Juvenile impact on your life
• 3:17
  story. Oh yeah, that was crazy. I mean just being on,
• 3:21
  just being on hearing, you know, being watching TV music videos and listening
• 3:23
  to the radio. I just heard that song and I was like, man,
• 3:27
  it's the beat. You're not even to beat the fiddle or the violin.
• 3:30
  I think it was a violent or a fiddle. It's like it just
• 3:34
  shows you the power of of a violin or a fiddle instrument, you know
• 3:36
  what I mean? What, uh, what's coming up the next couple of
• 3:38
  months for you? Uh? Tour. Definitely go on tour. I'm gonna
• 3:45
  go on tour. I want to see everybody there. You know, it's
• 3:47
  gonna be really fun. I mean, man, that song is is you
• 3:51
  know, I played the song at the bar song in Charlotte and there's thousands
• 3:55
  of people, you know, I mean thousands of people going crazy and yeah,
• 3:58
  North Carolina come on to raise up. Yeah, but yeah, tour,
• 4:03
  all that stuff, deluxe, you know, more collaborations if you could,
• 4:10
  uh, if you could, uh, Let's say you're stranded on island,
• 4:12
  right, you have one playlist you can listen to. What are like
• 4:14
  the top you only with five songs, We're like the top five song probably
• 4:18
  Hank Williams Junior family tradition. Uh juvenile bet that Kwan Tim said I got
• 4:30
  is that it all? Has he hit you up? By the way,
• 4:31
  or have you got Yeah? He hit me He hit me up when he
• 4:34
  heard the demo like a day after I made this, like two three days
• 4:38
  after I made the song. I think that's probably when I knew maybe this
• 4:42
  was gonna do something with j Kwan. Hits me up because you got to
• 4:45
  get the clear you got to get the song cleared. You know, you
• 4:47
  interpolated it. So I think one of my publishers or somebody sent it to
• 4:50
  his publisher and he DMed me directly. It was like, Yo, you
• 4:54
  got one. I was like, all right, So that doesn't happen too
• 4:58

• 5:41
  important to me. So take care of me and then I'll take care of

• 6:03
  because we're gonna drop for it as Riley leaves the stage. Okay, so
• 6:08
  now let's do the part that you care about. But do me a favor.
• 6:11
  He's done a couple of shows throughout CMA Fest already, but I promised
• 6:15
  him a minute ago this would be the loudest and he's like and he goes
• 6:17
  like this, I don't know about that, man, So do me a
• 6:21
  favorite. Nashville and visitors get loud for Riley Green. I don't want to
• 6:46
  take it, honeste ally sad too. How y'all doing? They're rowdy?
• 6:59
  Man? All right, with all due respects, shut up. We got
• 7:04
  to talk because he wants to sing for y'all too. So let me ask.
• 7:09
  First of all, there are a lot of guys and a lot of
• 7:12
  girls here. But there's a rumor that I thought the ladies, you were
• 7:15
  more excited for this show today. Hey, and to be fair, we've
• 7:23
  we flipped a coin upstairs to see who was gonna do the interview shirtless.
• 7:28
  I lost. I'm just kidding, I d I don't know. These guys
• 7:31
  are pretty excited right here. So before we let Riley before, man,
• 7:36
  I want to touch base CMA Fest For a fan, they're mapping out as
• 7:42
  soon as their favorite artist announces, or as soon as they plan their trip
• 7:46
  or they plan their drive into Nashville. How early are you planning CMA Fest?
• 7:49
  Are your team planning it? Oh? I don't plan anything? Is
• 7:54
  they put me in the car and I show up and follow the noise?
• 7:57
  And man, this is lads just making a lot of noise earlier or so.
• 8:01
  So when it comes to CMA Fest, how many years is this deep
• 8:05
  for you? I signed a deal in twenty eighteen, so I guess I've
• 8:11
  I've been coming here since then. Is this the busiest CMA Fest you've had
• 8:16
  yet? By far? Yeah? It's it's crazy. So tonight you have
• 8:22
  a special show that you're a part of over at the sand Amphitheater. Outside
• 8:26
  of something like that, because that's Tracy Lawrence's Show and Friends tonight. What
• 8:30
  are moments that you get to be a fan or maybe interact with other artists
• 8:33
  that you normally don't get to Well, a lot of people probably don't know,
• 8:37
  you know. I mean, we don't get to hang out with our
• 8:39
  buddies that do country music because we're all on the road together. So it's
• 8:41
  nice to be able to all be in the same town for a week,
• 8:45
  you know, and we're passing each other and getting to have a drink every
• 8:48
  once in a while. So it's a cool deal to be a part of
• 8:50
  it. Then you get to get to be a fan and play for a
• 8:54
  lot of fans. I got to say, you have written and put out
• 8:58
  so many amazing songs over the years, but I want to touch on one
• 9:03
  that probably connected one of your biggest ones, that connected early for you.
• 9:07
  Anybody have a grandpa that is like their number one guy? When you take
• 9:15
  a connection with somebody in your life, right and the story is about them
• 9:18
  not being with you anymore, how tough is that? Not only to tell
• 9:22
  the story, but how important is it that that he gets to live on
• 9:26
  through that song forever. Now, Well, that's the biggest thing for me.
• 9:28
  Is that both of my grendaddies are part of the song that's become a
• 9:31
  really huge song. Me thanks so much to y'all and however for making that
• 9:35
  song what it is. But it's it's it is a song always. Grandpa
• 9:39
  has never died and it's going to be around forever. When when it comes
• 9:43
  to the writing and recording, we just got some new music not long ago.
• 9:48
  But how far you look? How far are you looking ahead? And
• 9:50
  we're always writing and uh you know, constantly playing new songs. It shows
• 9:56
  to see what stands out and what fans seem to like. So we'll definitely
• 10:03
  be putting some more music out this year. When it comes to the music
• 10:07
  we've already heard now, believe it or not, y'all might love every single
• 10:11
  song he's ever put out, but I guarantee there's one that you're like,
• 10:15
  I'm glad y'all like it. But if I didn't have to sing it again,
• 10:18
  that'd be awesome. Is there one of those? I mean, I
• 10:20
  haven't got tired of anything yet. I mean, when you go play a
• 10:24
  song and a show and fans sing it back to you, sometimes scream it
• 10:28
  back to you, you never get tired of that song. So so we
• 10:33
  know some of y'all are from Nashville. But on the count of three,
• 10:37
  yell out your city one, two three, I heard Alabama somewhere. Yeah.
• 10:46
  And to whoever yelled Alabama a little Tennessee education, that's a state,
• 10:50
  not a city. Uh. As you're putting together a tour, I heard
• 10:56
  Ohio again, a state. When you're put together a tour, what are
• 11:01
  some cities that you're like, hey, y'all, like, let's make sure
• 11:03
  we hit bam bam bam, well everywhere all of the you know, SEC
• 11:09
  schools in the Southeast. To love to go play at the colleges and especially
• 11:13
  during football season, Uh, Tuscaloosa, Auburn. Uh. I always like
• 11:20
  to go up to the Midwest where where the weather's nice in the summertime.
• 11:22
  We have big outdoor festivals. Everybody shows up because it's not snowing. Uh.
• 11:26
  And we did four weeks on the West coast and that was a lot
• 11:28
  of fun. So yeah, Hey to my friends in Minnesota booking Riley in
• 11:33
  January, he's busy, uh hunting the season, man, I can't.
• 11:37
  Hey. Collaborations are red red hot in country music. You just had a
• 11:41
  massive one with Luke Combs. Do you have pressure? Do you have y'all
• 11:46
  like that song? Obviously? Uh? Do you have pressure to connect with
• 11:50
  somebody? Are you like? Hey man, when it's when it's right,
• 11:52
  it'll be right. Uh. Well, it was a good opportunity because I
• 11:54
  was out with Luke doing stadiums last year on tour. But it's uh,
• 11:58
  it's really just buddies that kind of dig each other's music. And I just
• 12:03
  texted Luke said you want to be a part of this song and worked out
• 12:05
  really well for me. He did, I'll tell you one name, and
• 12:09
  she actually just opened a spot around the corner. I think a Riley Green
• 12:13
  and Landy Wilson's track would be unreal. I'm not forecasting the future. He
• 12:18
  did not tell me to say that. I don't even know if they even
• 12:22
  know each other, but I'm putting it out into the universe. Who would
• 12:24
  love that song? Before you hear it? Now, I'm gonna challenge you
• 12:31
  because obviously this is a great part of being Riley Green, But what are
• 12:35
  some of the hardest parts day in and day out for you? Well,
• 12:39
  I always say this is a really cool way to make a living, so
• 12:41
  I can't complain too much. I did construction work for the majority of my
• 12:43
  life and now I'm playing country songs for a living. But I definitely I
• 12:48
  definitely missing being at home. You know. It's a kind of grueling being
• 12:52
  on the road a couple hundred days of a year. So it's nice to
• 12:54
  have something like this in town and my family's able to come up. My
• 12:56
  folks are over here, so hey, hey, one time for Riley Green's
• 13:01
  family that's hanging out with us. So CMA Fest raps Sunday night Nissan Stadium.
• 13:11
  Everybody heads out of town or goes back to work on Monday. Boo,
• 13:16
  listen, it's fine, you got How are you gonna pay for CMA
• 13:20
  Fest next year if you don't go back to work? Uh? What are
• 13:22
  you looking forward to the rest of the year. We're gonna be playing fairs
• 13:26
  and festivals all over the country and uh, like I said, it's gonna
• 13:30
  be put out some new music. So just excited about going to some cities
• 13:31
  I haven't been in and playing bigger venues and doing this a lot more.
• 13:37
  What about downtime, You're a guy who works. I want to sleep.
• 13:41
  That's yeah, I'm gonna sleep until hunting season. September. First, I'll
• 13:43
  get back up and chase them around a little bit. There we go.
• 13:48
  What's so you're a big hunting guy, you shared on Instagram. What's your
• 13:50
  what's your favorite hunts? What's been your favorite hunting story? Uh, I'm
• 13:56
  I get excited at whatever season it is. But definitely some great duck hunts
• 14:00
  where I'm able to take buddies and family and go sit in the blind and
• 14:03
  cut up and cook breakfast. And some of the best hunts I've had we
• 14:07
  didn't kill much. There are questions that artists get asked all the time,
• 14:11
  like, oh, who's the best golfer when you go out with other artists?
• 14:15
  Or who's the messiest that you hang out with? I want to know,
• 14:18
  if you've hunted with another country artist, who's the worst? What an
• 14:24
  awful question? H don't don't don't record this and don't take whoever it is.
• 14:30
  I haven't taken anybody that you know that wasn't good. I would say
• 14:35
  that there might be some people that aren't as quiet as others. You know,
• 14:39
  Hey, Luke Brian likes to talk. I don't know if he could
• 14:39
  be real quiet, but but he's you know, he's a big hunter too,
• 14:45
  so, but you're not above being like, hey, shut up,
• 14:48
  hey, shut up. Yeah, what's your favorite thing to hunt? Whatever
• 14:52
  season it is, season no matter, season, no matter. Hey,
• 14:56
  So here's the deal. I've had fun chatting. Oh my god, yeah,
• 15:03

• 15:05
  before before before we perform. What songs do y'all want to hear? Okay,
• 15:15
  okay, he's like all of them. Hey, he's even got merched.
• 15:18
  I thought he was just yelling to be obnoxious. My man's God and
• 15:20
  the hat. Oh yeah that is. I'm happy for him. All right,
• 15:24
  y'all, Rate of Rock. I'm gonna shove my mouth and let this
