Scotty Shares The Stories Behind The Songs On "Clear As Day"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Interscope Records) �American Idol� winner Scotty McCreery releases his debut album, �Clear as Day,� in two weeks, marking the end of one chapter in the 17-year-old�s life and the beginning of another. Before he settles back into domestic life in Garner, N.C. the high school senior will be everywhere telling the stories behind each of the album�s 12 songs, and he�s starting to tell those stories now.

�I�m not trying to fake [it] at all on this album,� McCreery told Taste of Country. �I�ve heard people say, �Oh, he�s 17. He hasn�t lived life. He can�t sing country music!� I�m not trying to fake being old. I�ve never pretended to be somebody I�m not.�

�I�m 17, and that�s me,� he continued. �This album�s gonna relate to that, and hopefully people like it. I�m really proud of what we�ve accomplished these last couple months.�

There�s plenty of small-town life buried deep into the fabric of McCreery�s picks for his first album. There�s also a whole lot of family and a touch of God to remind fans that no matter how big his star becomes, he still knows which one to always follow.
