Riley Green and Randy Houser just teamed up to pay tribute to one of country music's biggest superstars. The two combined their talents to sing "Should've Been A Cowboy," while at Morgan Wallen's inaugural Sand In My Boots festival.

Both Green and Houser were part of the star-studded lineup, which also included Post Malone, Ella Langley, HARDY, Brooks & Dunn, T-Pain and more.
Green has been performing "Should've Been A Cowboy" in his live shows, even before Keith tragically passed away last year. He's also performed the song with
Zach Top and Tracy Lawrence, among others."Should've Been A Cowboy" also isn't Green and Houser's first duet. Green joins Houser on "Rub A Little Dirt On It." The song is from Houser's Note to Self album.
Riley Green's Other Award-Winning Collaboration
Green clearly likes sharing his talent with others. He has two duets out with Langley, both "Don't Mind If I Do" and "You Look Like You Love Me." The latter has won the two talented singers numerous awards, including three recent ACM Awards.
"I've been a big fan of Ella Langley for a long time," Green shares. "We met through a mutual friend, and I was kind of in as soon as I heard her voice and her twang, and how country she sounded, and also that she loved what I would call traditional country music. And then also, she's from Alabama, so I kind of was pulling for her anyway. So, I was very fortunate to get her on tour."
The two also toured together, which is what inspired them to release a collaboration in the first place.
"'You Like You Love Me' happened, which is something that I don't think any of us had any idea about," Green says. "I heard the song through our mutual friend. Ella played it for me some, and I wrote a verse for it, and it just became this giant hit song."
Green is back at radio with another hit, this one by himself. He has a Top 5 hit with "Worst Way." The song's success might be due to the steamy video Green released along with the song.
