Alabama Natives Jamey Johnson Riley Green Release Collaborative Breakup Song Smoke

Alabama natives and country artists Jamey Johnson and Riley Green have collaborated on a new song titled "Smoke," co-written with Erik Dylan. The track explores the metaphorical uses of smoke, symbolizing heartbreak and emotional avoidance, and features a unique sound with contrasting musical parts. Recorded at The Cash Cabin and Big Gassed Studios, the song was produced by Kyle Lehning and Jim "Moose" Brown, marking the first full collaboration between Johnson and Lehning on Johnson's own music. Both Johnson and Green share a strong connection from their time at Jacksonville State University, which helped foster their songwriting partnership. The duo plans to perform "Smoke" together during nine dates on Green's Damn Country Music Tour from November 6 to 22. Their collaboration reflects their mutual respect and camaraderie, blending their songwriting and singing talents in a fresh country music offering.
