Riley Green surprised fans with a new acoustic EP titled Midtown Sessions, showcasing stripped-down renditions of five songs. Green explains, “I have always loved the acoustic versions of songs, so I recorded a few just the way I originally wrote them.”
The EP includes Green’s self-written tracks “Worst Way” and “Jesus Saves,” along with the popular “Change My Mind” and a brand-new song titled “Bartender In Destin.” Notably, Green covers Tim McGraw’s classic “The Cowboy In Me,” continuing his appreciation for ‘90s country influences.
