Green is one of the most famous men in country music at the moment, and his ride to the top of the mountain isn’t slowing down.

He’s already mega-famous, and it feels like it’s only a matter of time before he can crack into the same league as Morgan Wallen.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Country music has been going through a really cool moment over the past couple years.

The era of pop garbage isn’t dying. It’s dead. It’s as dead as disco, and that’s great news for fans everywhere.

Country music is supposed to have a bit of an edge to it. Hell, the real old school singers used to sing about being outlaws and killers.

While this song isn’t exactly that kind of vibe, there’s no doubt the genre is getting back to its old ways, and I’m here for it.
