Throughout his time on "American Idol", McCreery did songs by country artists, most notably Josh Turner. McCreery did Turner's "Your Man", sounding almost exactly like Turner.
"Clear As Day", McCreery's first CD since winning Idol, has several good songs on it, including the Keith Urban song, "Walk In The Country".
Another standout is "Old King James", the story of a bible that had been carried everywhere by a man; then passed on to his family when he died.
On songs like these, McCreery truly shines; other tracks though are a bit lackluster in comparison. For instance, the two songs released to radio, "Love You This Big" and "The Trouble With Girls" are both a little too "kiddish". Granted, McCreery *is* a kid at eighteen, however, these songs just seem to be aimed directly at 'tweens and teenage girls.
Having been the winner of "American Idol", it would seem that McCreery would already have a large fan base, of all ages; so why not release some of the better songs from "Clear As Day"?
Scotty McCreery has proven he has what it takes to be a star, and except for a glitch or two song wise, "Clear As Day" showcases his talents very well.
I loved the first song I heard on the American Idol Show, I Love You This Much, but, I was delighted with the entire album, every song is a hit. You will not be disappointed!! Scotty McCreery's first album is sure to be just one of many, many more to come. This young man is extremely talented.
