Well… that’s a new one. Over the last several years, plenty of videos have gone viral of things that ladies have thrown onstage at Riley Green, and it’s no secret that the ladies are very fond him, and he’s absolutely no stranger to having bras thrown at him and I don’t know how some of you afford that, but I digress… Apparently, it got to be such a high volume that his road crew now has a big bin full of bras to eventually be donated, and Riley pointed out that he had no idea how expensive they were so that seemed like right right thing to do. I mean, I guess it’s better than throwing them away because like I said, they certainly are not cheap: “We were putting them in a big bin, and we were gonna donate them to wherever you donate bras to, I guess. Because what I learned, there was there was like people commenting saying that they were really expensive. I didn’t know that.” But it sounds like Riley’s learned a lot from that, in addition to the extensions he’s seen flying during a few fights, and he joked in a recent interview with CMT that he doesn’t actually want anyone to throw anything onstage at all: “I don’t want anybody to throw anything onstage. No. Don’t throw anything… no fights. Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of extensions go missing. And then they go to put them back in, they’ve got the wrong girl’s hair when they’re putting it back in. It’s a whole thing… we don’t have a lot of fights.” But of course, with things like sticky boobs getting chucked at him, which Riley says he’s only “falling for once,” he’s learned quickly about everything it takes for the girls to pull of their perfect concert-ready looks, joking that he’s now qualified to “work at Ulta” because of it: “Well, I’m learning. I’m learning on the road. It’s like I can work at Ulta now. I know what Ulta is, see. Yeah. I know all about it.” And this weekend, a lady in the crowd decided to throw some, um, granny panties at him during a show in Las Vegas during the National Finals Rodeo (NFR). Riley’s face is priceless as he holds them up for the crowd to see… usually, we see thongs and push-up bras, even sticky boobs have made an appearance, but this is certainly a first: @aalleexx886 @Rileygreen #lasvegas #rileygreen ♬ original sound – a-dawg Riley also just scored his fourth Country Airplay #1 with his second duet with Ella Langley, “Don’t Mind If I Do.” It’s Ella’s second on that chart, and they’re now just the second pair since the list launched in January 1990 to have earned multiple collaborative #1s, after Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani led in 2020 with “Nobody but You” and “Happy Anywhere.” For Riley, he becomes the first artist since Taylor Swift to land back-to-back Country Airplay #1s with songs written entirely on his or her own. One of his other solo writes, “Worst Way,” led the chart for two weeks in June. “Don’t Mind If I Do” The post Riley Green’s Reaction To Having A Pair Of Granny Panties Thrown Onstage Is Priceless first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Incredible. This might be the best cover of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” I’ve ever heard, and it’s by rock artist Sawyer Hill. He released a rendition of the classic country song with a bit of a twist, and while normally I would say we don’t need any sort of cover of such a classic song, this one is incredibly unique and cool. Hill got his start at 15 in the bar scene and venues in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and in his teens, he played countless shows over the southern United States with his band. Now in his mid-20s, he has honed that alternative rock/progressive sound, but it’s really his voice that will stop you in his tracks. It’s deep and and distinctive, very reminiscent of Cash himself in that way, and Hill previously opened for British rock star Yungblud during the North American leg of Yungblud’s “IDOLS” World Tour this past summer. And if  Yungblud’s name sounds familiar, he just put out a song with Aerosmith and country music’s own Lainey Wilson called “Wild Woman.” He’s an Ozzy Osbourne prodigy who moved to London at age 15 to pursue music, and he blends genres like alternative rock, pop punk, and hip-hop for a very unique sound that also very much harkens back to rock icons like the aforementioned Ozzy.

Later, it was included on Cash’s debut studio album Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! in 1957 as the album’s 11th track. It was also included on the compilation album All Aboard the Blue Train in 1962. The famous story is that Cash performed the song live to a crowd of inmates at California’s Folsom State Prison in 1968 for his live album At Folsom Prison, which was released through Columbia Records. That’s the version became a number-one hit on the country music charts and became a crossover hit, reaching number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same year. It ultimately won the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance at the 11th Annual Grammy Awards in 1969, and of course, became one of Cash’s signature songs and a country classic. Hill previously said that Cash is one of his “biggest inspirations,” calling the recording of this song a “labor of love”: “No metronome, fully live tracked. This song was a labor of love for all of you who heard this one on tour, as well as an homage to the great Johnny Cash, one of my biggest inspirations as an artist. My cover of Folsom Prison Blues is now yours, turn it up loud.” It’s incredibly rare to be able to put your own twist on such a well-known standard that’s been completely perfect for many decades, but he somehow did it and I think that speaks to his artistry and talent. I know, you might be skeptical about what this might sound like, but I insist you give it a chance because it’s truly an amazing cover.
