On the title track to his latest EP Way Out Here, Riley Green cites Johnny Cash and his John Deere tractor as inspirations for his lifestyle, while throwing around the thought of shooting anyone who shows up to his house unwelcome.

On the other hand,  the 35-year-old country singer’s cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” (ironic, huh?) adds a mandolin and twang just not heard on the Boss’ original Nebraska recording.

Green hasn’t been playing many tracks from the EP of late, but if the Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday at Tropicana Field, you’ll probably find yourself crying for two reasons during “I Wish Grandpas Never Died.”

Riley Green’s concert at St. Petersburg’s Tropicana Field on Saturday, Aug. 10 is included with your ticket to Rays v. Orioles, but tickets for postgame on-field viewing start at $30.
