McCreery soars with "Bottle Rockets" video
The video will be shown exclusively on Paramount/CMT's New York City Times Square billboard next Friday at noon eastern and be available via YouTube the same day. The following day the music video will make its television broadcast premiere on "CMT Hot 20 Countdown."
Filmed outside Charleston, S.C. on the Isle of Palms, the laid-back, ocean side video encapsulates the feeling of summer and creating lifetimes of memories with friends and family. The video was directed by McCreery's frequent collaborator, filmmaker Jeff Ray, and produced by Kelsey Pribilski-Ray.
"Hanging out on the beach with Hootie & The Blowfish, one of my favorite bands of all time, and filming the video for 'Bottle Rockets' was just a perfect day for me," said McCreery. "Darius, Mark, Dean and Soni are not only talented, but just great guys. I've been so excited at all that success that 'Bottle Rockets' has had so far, and I'm glad we were able to get together and create this video for everyone."
CMT's Hot 20 host Cody Alan joined McCreery and the band at the Isle of Palms' live music beach venue The Windjammer to discuss the hit song – McCreery's fastest rising single of his career to date - and the longstanding friendship that brought the song to life. The song was produced by Frank Rogers, and written by McCreery, Rogers, Brent Anderson, Derek George, Jeremy Bussey, Monty Criswell, Bobby Hamrick, Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber and Jim Sonefeld.
The song is on McCreery's recently released five-song EP, "Scooter & Friends."
McCreery will be co-headlining the "Two for the Road Tour" with Dustin Lynch. The "Two for the Road Tour" kicks-off this November.

CD reviews for Scotty McCreery
"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. ...
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 ...
