Different 'Round Here

Riley Green was raised in the small Alabama town of Jacksonville and his roots run deep. That hometown pride is the secret sauce in his songwriting. His tunes echo with the sounds of family ties, unwavering faith, wholesome values, that blue-collar grind, and the charm of small-town living. "I'm real close to my family. I'm from Alabama and kind of proud of my little area that I'm from down there, the small town I grew up in," he told Cowboys & Indians. "A lot of that comes out in my writing." "Different 'Round Here" is a love letter to the place where Riley and folks like him hang their hats.

In towns like Green's, bravery means donning army green at 18, truth is inked in red, and pride is the heartbeat of every conversation. In Green's world, heroes are daddies, mamas are the embodiment of love, and right and wrong isn't blurred lines. It's a place where folks do things a little differently, and they wear that badge with pride. The people in Riley Green's hometown aren't afraid to stand out. They hold tight to their values, wave the flag for their traditions, and aren't shy about letting the world know they're cut from a different cloth.

Riley Green wrote "Different 'Round Here" with Randy Montana and Jonathan Singleton and recorded it for his debut album of the same title.
