McCreery gives it up for NC State

Friday, September 6, 2024 – When the North Carolina State men's and women's basketball teams made their historic run to the NCAA Final Four last Spring, Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery tweaked the lyrics to his current single "Fall of Summer" from his current album "Rise & Fal."

He updated the song for his beloved Wolfpack singing, "I said come see me at NC State." McCreery today released released "Fall of Summer (NC State Version)."

Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells and Aaron Eshuis, "Fall of Summer," is about a guy who looks back on a season of life that ultimately faded, but also made room for the here and now. Lyrics include:
"You sent one "I miss you" when you got back home to Dallas
I said come see me at NC State
You were the one who taught me how heartbreak happens
Feeling the sting and then watching it fade
Like a sunburn on your shoulders
Girl that's all it was to you
When I think about you and me
It's a little more like a tattoo

The disc also included the hit "Cab in a Solo," his sixth number one.

McCreery also recently joined Callista Clark on the duet "Gettin' Old" via Dreamcatcher Artists label. Clark wrote the song with Averie Bielski and Karen Kasowski, while Joey Hyde and Frank Rogers share production credits.

"I've been a fan of Callista and her talent for some time, especially after having her out on my European tour a few years ago. I loved this song from the first time I heard it and was honored that she asked me to sing it with her."

The two recently shot a music video for the track, conceived, produced and directed by award-winning film maker Roman White, which will be released soon.

CD reviews for Scotty McCreery

Scotty McCreery is somewhat of a guilty pleasure. American Idol winners are supposed to sell albums, lots of them. With three with three number ones on his resume, McCreery has certainly done his job well. But commercial success sometimes has its burdens. With an unabashed contemporary bent, aw shucks demeanor and flannel shirt, he was portrayed as a caricature of the genre on an SNL spoof 2013s "See You Tonight" was designed to market him as a more mature artist and to buck the stereotype. ...
CD review - Seasons Change "Boys from Back Home" is Scotty McCreery's amalgamation of Kenny Chesney's "I Go Back" and "Boys of Fall," which even borrows words from each hit song to create something attempting to be new. It's not new. Instead, it sounds more like songwriting by committee, relying upon radio listener demographics. Many of these songs were created to sound immediately familiar to mainstream ears. They will. This doesn't mean they're good, though, let alone meaningful. ...
CD review - See You Tonight Scotty McCreery's third release, "See You Tonight" is designed to market the season 10 American Idol champ as a more mature artist. Armed with songwriting heavies along with a guest vocal from Allison Krauss, it might work on paper. But in the end, he proves that his wheelhouse remains fun contemporary songs driven by his boy next door charm. Ironically, for a fall release, the album is heavy on summertime themed tracks and upbeat party anthems. From Feel Good Summer Song to ...
