Riley Green Surprises Fans With Acoustic EP ‘Midtown Sessions’
Riley Green treated fans to an unexpected gift on Friday with the release of his new acoustic project, Midtown Sessions.
The five-track EP showcases stripped-down versions of some of his most beloved songs, including solo-penned favorites like “Worst Way” and “Jesus Saves,” the crowd-pleaser “Change My Mind,” and a brand-new song titled “Bartender In Destin.”
Also included is a heartfelt acoustic cover of Tim McGraw’s “The Cowboy In Me.” It’s not Green’s first nod to McGraw—his 2023 album Ain’t My Last Rodeo featured a rendition of “Damn Country Music,” originally the title track of McGraw’s 2015 release.
Rooted in his love for ‘90s country, the EP strips the songs to their core, putting the focus on Green’s signature Southern vocals and honest lyrics.
“I’ve always been a fan of acoustic takes on songs, so I cut a few just like I wrote them—for y’all,” Green shared.
Midtown Sessions Tracklist:
Change My Mind (Riley Green, Erik Dylan, Randy Montana)
Worst Way (Riley Green)
Jesus Saves (Riley Green)
Cowboy In Me (Al Anderson, Jeffery Steele, Craig Wiseman)
Bartender In Destin (Sam Banks, Nick Walsh)
Midtown Sessions comes on the heels of Green’s full-length record Don’t Mind If I Do, released last October. The album’s title track, featuring Ella Langley, is set to hit country radio on July 21.
Currently, Green is on the road for his Damn Country Music Tour, which launched earlier this year in Canada and continues through November, with stops across the U.S., the U.K., and Ireland. Highlights include performances in New York, Chicago, London, and at iconic venues like Red Rocks and The Rooftop at Pier 17.
