On Friday (October 18), Riley Green had two big reasons to celebrate. The country star not only turned 36-years-old that day, but he also released his third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do. In a new interview with Audacy’s Rob + Holly, Green talked about the themes of the record, and the significance of releasing it on his birthday. “It feels fitting that this album is out on my birthday because this project feels very true to who I am, where I come from and what I’ve learned along the way,” Green shared. “I learned to play guitar to my granddaddy’s favorite country songs from back in the day and this new album is a throwback to the era when I first became a fan.” Green has Australian dates scheduled at the end of October, before returning to the U.S. for a handful of shows to close out 2024. His Damn Country Music Tour starts March 27, 2025, with frequent collaborator Ella Langley opening all dates. (Audacy)
