  "account": "In an exclusive interview, country music star Riley Green gives an in-depth look into his latest album \"That's Just Me,\" as well as his experiences on \"The Voice,\" his foray into acting, and what lies ahead. The interview takes place over a delicious steak dinner, as the interviewer and the artist discuss steakhouse orders, cooking techniques, and a tribute to Toby Keith.\n\nGreen reveals that he has evolved from being a fan of filet mignon to a ribeye lover. His preferred steakhouse order consists of a medium to medium-rare ribeye, accompanied by mashed potatoes. When cooking at home, Green keeps his method simple - salt, pepper, a touch of butter, and a sear on each side before slow cooking it on a Traeger smoker.\n\nOne of the standout tracks on the album, \"Think As You Drunk,\" is a tribute to Toby Keith. Green explains that this heartfelt dedication was made possible with Keith's family's blessing. Furthermore, he expresses his desire for a collaboration with the duo Brooks & Dunn, which he believes would be a dream partnership.\n\nDuring the interview, Green admits that he doesn't enjoy hearing his own voice and may choose not to watch the interview. His candid and humorous approach to the conversation continues as the two discuss their shared love for steak, delving into Green's cooking techniques and the significance that food holds in his life.",
