They knew exactly what they were doing with this one. Riley Green seems to be embracing his role as country music’s heartthrob. A couple of years ago he made his debut as an underwear model for Gildan in a campaign that sent the ladies into a frenzy: View this post on Instagram And Riley’s once again back and leaning into his sex appeal with a new ad for Black Rifle Coffee. The veteran-focused coffee brand called on the country music superstar for a humorous advertisement that’s full of double entendres and risqué jokes as a woman fantasizes over Riley: “Is it just the mustache? No, it’s all of it. It’s the way he brings me wood…to keep us nice and warm. … And the way he uses his hands.” At the end of the commercial though, the woman meets the same fate as…well, pretty much all the other women out there dreaming about Riley Green: She wakes up and realizes it was all a dream, as even her husband seems to understand that she was dreaming about another man. I mean, props to Riley for leaning into it. Of course the ad also comes amid plenty of relationship drama surrounding the “Worst Way” singer and one of his female country music counterparts. Last week, Megan Moroney released her newest album, Cloud 9, which included a song called “Who Hurt You?” that fans are convinced is about Riley. Moroney hasn’t confirmed the speculation, but has alluded to the fact that it would answer many of the questions she gets from the media…and obviously there have been plenty of questions about the status (or lack thereof) of the relationship between the two over the past year or so: “I remember coming up with that song and trying to include every possible detail that rhymes, so that I could put it out into the world and never have to talk about that situation again. Songwriting is always therapeutic for me—but with ‘Who Hurt You?’ in particular I released so many emotions, and it feels really great not to have that all pent-up inside me anymore.” The last verse is really the most scathing, where she calls this person out for dating 21-year-olds and constantly needing his ego fed, admitting that even though she fell for it, she knows she’ll eventually move on and he won’t: “You said you needed less flashy, more fun Oh, of course she’s 21 On your arm through the bar God, I hate how gross you are And how did I not see it? Your ego, it needs feeding Endlessly, relentlessly At the cost of me And I’ll move on and I’ll find better But you’ll stay the same forever” Well to further the speculation, after the song came out, Riley took to social media with an unreleased tune of his own called “POS Like Me,” that has fans convinced it was a response to Moroney: “And yeah I drive too fast, Spend too much time chasing largemouth bass, And I’m hooked on cussing, I’m hooked on snuff, And we both know you love that, Drink a little cold, every hunting season I disappear, You hated my dog, I guess you hated my songs, Hell you hated it way out here, One day you’re gonna try, but you ain’t never gonna find, Another low down, no good, rusted truck driving, Waffle House, eating overall wearing, piece of s*** like me” Hey, as long as people are talking about him I guess. And with this newest Black Rifle ad, there’s no doubt plenty of people will keep talking.The post “He Brings Me Wood” – Riley Green Stars In Suggestive New Ad For Black Rifle Coffee first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Making waves on its first day at country radio. Ashley McBryde and her team are having a dream Monday, as her single “What If We Don’t” is currently the most-added song at country radio. The single is the first song from her forthcoming (unofficially announced) fifth studio album, and was written by Ashley along with Terri Jo Box and Randall Clay. It might sound familiar to longtime fans of McBryde, as it was first released on her independently-released debut EP, Jalopies & Expensive Guitars, back in 2016, before Ashley had a record or publishing deal. The song is described as an “anthemic, larger-than-life plea” which dares listeners to live without regret, and Ashley says it’s about learning to live with the consequences of life regardless of the outcome: “‘What If We Don’t’ came to me, Terri Jo Box, and Randall Clay sitting around a fire pit on a back porch, reminiscing on all the moments that we could’ve made a different choice and wondering if we should’ve. It’s about the leaps of faith that you do or don’t take, and having to learn to live with those consequences either way.” At the time of the release, Ashley shared that she hopes people relate to the message of overcoming fear and not letting that feeling dictate choices: “We can’t avoid feeling afraid. But we can make sure fear doesn’t get to make choices for us.” View this post on Instagram The song instantly resonated with fans, and today, February 23, the single was sent to country radio. With the song being well-loved and received before heading to country radio, it made for a very successful debut, leaving McBryde at a loss for words. The “Rattlesnake Preacher” singer took to social media full of emotion to share her gratitude toward country radio for making it the most-added song: “Can you receive information right now? We’re the most-added country song at country radio right now—#1 most added country song. We got 75 stations! That’s the most we’ve had on any single coming out of the gate. This is huge. It’s huge for me, it’s huge for John Osbourne, it’s huge for my band, it’s huge for my team at Warner, it’s huge for my team at Q Prime. Thank you. Thank you for the love and the support. This song needed its moment, and it’s getting it. It’s getting it. Thank you.”  John Osbourne plays electric guitar, high-string guitar, mellotron, and Moog on the recording, which explains why McBryde noted that this was a big deal for her longtime friend and colleague to be part of this milestone as well. McBryde added more thanks for her fans in the caption of the post, writing: “’What If We Don’t’ is the #1 most added song at country radio. That’s because of YOU. Every single one of you reading this. Thank you for listening, requesting, adding, and believing in this one !” View this post on Instagram No one is more deserving of this milestone than McBryde. A true artist through and through, she’s been honing her craft for a long time, and I am sure this recognition from country radio makes all the blood, sweat, and tears to get to this moment feel worth it. Turn “What If We Don’t” all the way up before you go.
