The 90\u2019s country throwback trend is in full swing and Riley Green\u2019s debut full length release titled Different \u2018Round Here will take you back for sure.  There is some good stuff here and if country radio sounded more like this overall, I might find myself tuning back in every now and then. Let\u2019s take a deeper dive into this one and preview a few tracks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The album kicks off with \u201cThere Was This Girl\u201d which is pure 90\u2019s throwback with the twangy guitars and fist pumping beat.  This one is pure rockin\u2019 country made for your next backyard BBQ. I also dig \u201cSame Old Song\u201d which is about staying the same staying true even if you\u2019re rich.  It\u2019s a familiar theme, but with some good songwriting that makes it fresh. Speaking of good songwriting, look no further than \u201cI Wish Grandpas Never Died\u201d. I love the shoutout to Steve Earle\u2019s \u201cCopperhead Road\u201d in the lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBettin\u2019 Man\u201d is a tune that starts off with some chugging guitars and a slow backbeat before turning up the twang on a song that is a clever break-up tune. I dig this one and it\u2019s a song that would be a #1 hit in the 90\u2019s.  Finally, another song that would be a hit in the 90\u2019s is \u201cGet That Man A Beer\u201d. It\u2019s another clever break-up song where Riley wants to get the man who stole his girl a beer because he did him a favor. It\u2019s another great piece of songwriting on this album full of potential hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Riley Green\u2019s Different \u2018Round Here is another in a long line of great debut country albums that have come out in 2019.  He has released a steady stream of EPs and singles for a few years now, and some of these tracks were on those releases, but this album works as a whole much better.  Riley Green is currently on the Get That Man A Beer Tour and dates can be found at his website<\/a><\/span>.  Different \u2018Round Here is streaming everywhere as of Friday September 20th, 2019.      <\/span><\/p>\n
