Nothing beats acoustic. Today, Riley Green shared a beautiful, simple acoustic rendition of his new Christmas song "Christmas To Me," which he co-wrote with frequent collaborator Erik Dylan. A nostalgic holiday tune about his most special and cherished Christmas memories, it’s far from your typical Christmas song in that it’s reflective, warm and far from a lot of the gimmicky, cheesy types of holiday jingles a lot of artists put out this time of year. Of course, I think everything sounds better in this type of setting where the song can really breathe, and Riley often shares videos like this on Instagram with his songs, and sometimes covers, in their purest form. Steeped in Southern charm, "Christmas To Me" has such a nostalgic undertone in terms of the lyrics, and feels so simple yet relatable as he sings about his mom about to “come apart” because she just found out about his sisters new tattoo (what’s Christmas without a little family drama, right?): “And all them in-laws are showin’ up late For a five star meal on a paper plate The sound of bare foot feet runnin’ through the house The football games just about to start About the time momma has a come-apart Cause sisters new tattoo she just found out about There’s a string of lights all tangled around the tree That’s christmas to me” I don't usually gravitate to Christmas music, and I certainly don't love it, but if they all sounded more like this, I'd probably come around... "I wrote a song about what Christmas was like for me growing up. Hope y'all dig it. 'Christmas to me' is out now."

He should have been nominated for way more, but there’s always next year, I guess… Riley will hit the road on his Damn Country Music Tour next year, and you can check out the full list of dates below.
