Riley Green on His New Album, Ella Langley Collaborations & Alan Jackson Inspiration: ‘I Want to Make My Albums an Experience’


Riley Green opens up about his Ella Langley collaborations, taking songwriting Inspiration from Alan Jackson and more.

That laser focus on writing comes naturally for Green, who has long taken inspiration from Georgia native and Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson. One of Green’s solo writes, the poignant story song “Jesus Saves,” unfurls the tragic life events that led a military veteran to end up by the side of the road, holding up a ragged cardboard sign. Together, Green and Langley evade the cops in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, while they use the CB radio to call out to the tour’s other opening acts, inviting them to join to head out on the road.
