Riley Green on his Alabama pride, what his granddads taught him and more
.” “I didn’t sing. I just watched their hands to figure out what chords they were playing.”
“Bury Me in Dixie” had some specific references that people who aren’t from Alabama aren’t likely to know. What does the idea of home and being from Alabama mean to you, and how does it play into the way you write? The things you list as differences in the song, do you see those as being radically different than any other place?
I never thought it was a big radio hit or anything like that. I just thought it was kind of a personal thing for me. Kind of a tribute to my granddaddies, and saying these are some of the things they thought were important that also mean something to me and that maybe aren’t so important in this day and age. My granddaddy Buford, we’d have a handshake competition when I’d go over to his house. He’d make us practice giving him a handshake. I didn’t know what he was doing. It wasn’t a big deal.
You included both of your grandfathers as co-writers on that one. Why did you decide to add their names?
