The standout single, "Colorado," features fellow country star HARDY and is a prime example of what happens when two powerhouse songwriters get their hands on a tune. Originally penned by Green, HARDY, and Hunter Phelps, "Colorado" was first recorded by Florida Georgia Line in 2019. Now, with Green and HARDY at the helm, we get to see what the creators themselves would do with it—and the result is nothing short of electric.

"Colorado" is a playful, foot-stomping tune that captures the essence of Green and HARDY’s southern roots. Their gritty voices mesh perfectly as they swap verses, leading into a chorus that is bound to become an earworm for fans. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man nursing a broken heart in the Smoky Mountains, surrounded by friends from Colorado and Tennessee—friends that come in the form of whiskey and something a little greener.

The chorus rings out with a kind of resigned defiance:

“Well I got friends from Colorado / I got friends from Tennessee / So I got somethin' in a bottle / And I got somethin' from a seed / Since you said you didn't love me / Since you hung me out to dry / I've been drunk up in the Smokies / On a Rocky Mountain high.”

This is country music at its finest: raw, relatable, and undeniably catchy. The pop-country tune taps into a universal experience—heartbreak—and wraps it in a story that feels fresh yet familiar. It's the kind of song that will have fans singing along at concerts, reveling in the shared experience of love lost and found again in the bottom of a bottle.

But Whiskey On Whiskey is more than just "Colorado." The EP also features the recently released "Town Drunk," a poignant hometown heartbreak anthem that tugs at the heartstrings. In this track, Green explores the bittersweet memories tied to a small town, using his powerful storytelling to bring listeners right into the heart of his experience.

However, it’s the title track, "Whiskey On Whiskey," where Green truly shines. Slowing down his usual rough-and-tumble exterior, Green delves into a more reflective space. The song is a slow-burning ballad that finds him drowning in "memories on memories." It's a song about the kind of heartache that lingers, the kind that should have been figured out by now but somehow never is. Green’s ability to take a universal theme and make it feel fresh and personal is what sets him apart as a songwriter.

In "Whiskey On Whiskey," Green showcases his southern chops in a way that feels both authentic and new. The track is a testament to his growth as an artist, proving that he can tackle both the fun, rowdy side of country music and the more introspective, emotional moments with equal skill.

Drew Green’s Whiskey On Whiskey EP is a masterclass in modern country storytelling. With tracks that range from playful to poignant, Green proves once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the country music scene. Whether you’re nursing a heartbreak or just looking for a good time, this EP has something for everyone—so pour yourself a glass, sit back, and let Drew Green take you on a journey through the highs and lows of life, one whiskey at a time.
