Editorial Reviews

2011 debut album from the American Idol winner. Scotty has been well-received by the Country music industry since winning Season 10 of American Idol in May 2011, as evidenced by the fact that some of the best writers in country music wrote songs specifically for this project, which can be unheard of for a new artist. " The album is a collection of songs in the same straight-ahead Country style that captured the nation's hearts - and votes--on AI. It's the next step in a promising career that is already breaking records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything we hoped for from Scotty--honest vocals, beautiful heart October 4, 2011

It's hard not to feel a little possessive about Scotty--we watched him, a remarkably mature artist for any age, branch out and really come into his own over the course of a competition that few thought that he could win. His passionate delivery, and his voice--deep as mahogany, sweet as honey--ultimately won everyone over. So how does he deliver on that promise? Wonderfully. Clear As Day is exactly what he needed to do. The songwriting is top notch, the instrumentation is good without being treacly. Lyrics are honest, and well suited for his position in life and his hopes and dreams. We've all heard Trouble with Girls by now, which boasts a gawky sincerity sung with complete conviction--a combination impossible to refuse. You Make That Look Good is a fun country rocker with a beat that will get you stomping across the floor, looking for where you might have left your Wranglers. I love how he refuses to compromise his own spirituality in the album ender--That Old King James--blending the sincerity of his faith with love of family. Ultimately, this is simply a really good country album, an album that builds on the roots of the music that Scotty loves. This music sounds so good with him because it is music that he has lived with, he has felt and meditated on, that he has experienced and yearned for with all the sincerity and heartfelt need that a teenager can bring--and that is saying something. In the process, he has created what is perhaps the best Idol debut in years. Scotty did us proud here, and if you are a fan of his marvelous voice, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this, and I'm not even a little bit country! October 4, 2011

Amazon just delivered this CD to my door, so I played it. It hits every heart string I have.
Scotty captured my attention on American Idol. He is wholesome, genuine and true to himself.
His music comes from the heart and speaks to all those raised in small town America with family
values passed on from generations.
His music is relevant, honest and fresh. Give him an ear, you won't regret it.
I'm looking forward to more of this young artist.
