Mercury Nashville/19 Recordings/ Interscope artist Scotty McCreery will release his debut album "Clear As Day" on October 4th.
"We've been working hard on this album not only in Nashville, but in studios across the country because I've been on the Idol tour," Scotty said. "We're putting what I believe are the best songs we could find on it and I really hope everyone likes it. The whole experience has been amazing! I love working with my album producer, Mark Bright, and have gotten to work with some of the best musicians in Nashville!"
"We've got songs on it from some of the best songwriters in Country music," he added. "I'm so fortunate to have so many talented people contributing to my first album."
Seventeen-year-old Scotty is the youngest male winner in the nine-year history of "American Idol." A record-breaking 122.4 million votes were cast for Scotty and runner-up Lauren Alaina. The final show attracted 29.3 million viewers and 38.6 million people tuned in to see the winner's name announced.
Scotty said he wanted to satisfy his "American Idol" fans with this new record. "It has some old country influences and elements, but it also has a contemporary feel with fun up-tempo songs," Scotty said. "It's a good mixture. You can hear some of the influences that I grew up with, like Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and Merle Haggard, but it still has a contemporary twist and feel that keeps it up to date."
McCreery's producer, Mark Bright said, "His voice is shockingly great. Everybody knows Scotty has a deep voice, but what a lot of people don't know is that he has a pretty high range. His listeners will get to hear the nuances, emotions and actual range of his voice."
Scotty's official website is currently offering an exclusive album pre-order package that includes Scotty's full-length debut album, an autographed 8x10 photo for limited quantity of orders, a personalized poster and an instant download of his single "I Love You This Big," as well as a chance to enter a sweepstakes for a Country Music Association Awards experience that includes a meet-and-greet with Scotty.
