• 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.
