Riley Green surprised fans this week with the announcement of his much-anticipated new album, Don’t Mind If I Do. The exciting news came straight from the grand opening event of his new bar and restaurant, Riley Green’s Duck Blind, located in the heart of Nashville’s Midtown district.
When Will Riley Green’s New Album Be Released?
Green revealed that his latest project will drop on his birthday, October 18, via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment. The announcement added an extra layer of excitement to the launch of Riley Green’s Duck Blind, which promises to be a hotspot for music lovers and fans alike.
“We couldn’t bring everyone out here to celebrate and not share more exciting news with you,” Green, 35, shared from the stage. “My brand-new album Don’t Mind If I Do will be out October 18. It feels fitting that it’s coming 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. I can’t wait for y’all to hear it!”
The Project Includes Two Collaborations
The upcoming project will feature 18 tracks, including several songs featured on his previously released Way Out Here EP. Fans can also look forward to two collaborations: “Reel Problems” featuring Luke Bryan and the title track, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” featuring Green’s friend, tour mate, and “You Look Like You Love Me” duet partner, Ella Langley.
This album reflects Green as a man and an artist from rural Alabama. It combines relatable, honest, and sometimes humorous elements, all while staying true to the traditional country sound his fans love.
For the album, which marks his third studio release, Green once again teamed up with his longtime producer, Dann Huff, as well as Executive Producers Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen.
