Move over, Zach Top—the “hottest guy in country music” title currently belongs to Kevon Green, father of Riley. Fans melted when the older man chose to spend his 79th birthday basking in his son’s massive success. And, according to Riley’s frequent collaborator, Ella Langley, no one is beating Kevon Green when it comes to pickup lines, either.

Kevon Green’s Pickup Lines Are “A Work of Art”
Last summer, Ella Langley and Riley Green launched a thousand pickup lines with “You Look Like You Love Me,” a winsome, winking nod to love at first sight (or something like that.)
When you pen a chart-topping song about falling in love with someone from across the room, it stands to reason that people will want to share their best come-ons with you. And while some are better than others, Langley says no one is beating Kevon Green.
“He gets the best pickup lines I’ve ever heard in my life,” Langley said during a recent appearance on the God’s Country podcast. “He’s like, off the cuff. I mean, it’s incredible. It is a work of art, honestly.”
Well, it looks like the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree in this case. Kevon and Riley Green seem to have an ultra-close relationship, as Riley frequently shouts out Kevon on social media. In fact, one of the first purchases he made after his music career took off was a brand-new truck for his dad.
“Nothing I bought myself stands out like as being able to hand him the keys to a nice truck, you know?” Riley told AL.com last February. “He always had an old beat-up truck, so it was cool to be able to take care of him.”

Ella Langley Has Released New Music
After a bombshell year that saw the release of her debut album Hungover, Ella Langley is still going strong. In November, the Hope Hull, Alabama-born artist released a deluxe version of her debut, Still Hungover, which included the single “Weren’t For the Wind.”
Next week, Langley will hit the road for her Still Hungover tour, kicking off Jan. 23 in Oklahoma City. And if you were looking for tickets, best of luck.
“What!!!! Y’all sold out the whole dang tour in one day,” Langley wrote on social media on Oct. 24. “Thank you.”
