/by

Riley Green will release his fourth album, That’s Just Me on Sept. 18 via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment. Today, he’s also dropping a new single from the project, “Think As You Drunk” a high-energy summer anthem.

Equal parts rowdy drinking song and heartfelt homage, “Think As You Drunk” pays tribute to country legend Toby Keith while showcasing Green’s signature sound and down-home charm. The track arrives on the heels of the previously released tender ballad, “My Way,” and a portion of the new single’s proceeds will be donated to the Toby Keith Foundation.

Written and recorded during a pivotal year in Green’s life and in the midst of the biggest tour of his career to date, That’s Just Me is a deeply personal body of work that captures the many sides of Green as an artist as well as a songwriter. Rooted in his signature country storytelling with a strong western spirit, the record includes tender moments of yearning, brooding and heartbreak, carefree beachy anthems and the fun-loving drinking songs fans have come to love. Reflecting a season of change and growth, That’s Just Me showcases Green at a defining moment, revealing new layers while staying true to the authenticity that has always driven his music.

“This record came together during a pretty big season of life for me,” says Green. “I was out on the road on the biggest tour I’ve ever had, writing and recording while a lot was changing at the same time. There are songs on here that are more emotional, some that are made for having a good time with your buddies, and others that come from real moments I was living through. I never wanted it to feel like one thing, I wanted it to feel like me, and all the different sides that come with that.”

Green is already in the midst of a busy year and earlier this spring made his acting debut on CBS’ hit drama series, Marshals, playing a former Navy SEAL. He was also recently announced as a coach on the upcoming 30th season of NBC’s The Voice, and will co-host CMA Fest Presented by SoFi on ABC on June 24. He also launched his spirits brand Duck Club Bourbon, and is currently on the road on his headlining “Cowboy As It Gets Tour” with stops across major cities nationwide.
