The country singer’s 12-track project features his current single, “Different ‘Round Here” featuring Luke Combs, and another special collaboration titled “Copenhagen In A Cadillac” with Jelly Roll.
“Jelly Roll, man. What can you say about him? He’s an awesome guy and so likable, so relatable. And, you know, even though some of his stories are so crazy, it’s just people love how vulnerable he is. And we hit it off the first day we met,” Green told Shawn Parr.
Jelly Roll has not only become one of the biggest names in the country genre but music overall. For Green, it was “cool” to work with the CMA Award nominee for Male Vocalist of the Year because “It’s a collaboration that people probably didn’t see coming.”
Green told Parr on Shawn Parr’s Backstage Country, “I wrote ‘Copenhagen in a Cadillac,’ you know, as kind of as a joke. It was a title I had that thought sounded really cool, and [I] knew exactly what it was going to be. And it’s just a fun song, and I don’t think it was going to make this album.”

The multi-platinum singer-songwriter went on to tell Parr, “I texted him, and said, ‘What do you think about this song?’ And he called me immediately. ‘We got to cut this, please.’ He said the line. And there it says, ‘Never seen country look quite like that,’ was written about him. It’s awesome how it turned out. He did an amazing job vocally on it, and it’s like I said, I think it would be something that can surprise everybody.”
