Toledo Blade Clear As Day review

Scotty McCreery American Idol Winner

You can’t get your hands on it yet, but American Idol winner Scotty McCreery releases his debut album, “Clear as Day” on Oct. 4. Personally, I don’t think his label has done him any favors with his first two singles, “I Love You This Big” and “The Trouble with Girls,” which are dragged down with weak, sappy hooks. But overall, this is a good album, which is pretty impressive since he had to cut it between dates on the American Idol tour. The natural fear would be that an AI product would be forced to stray from his country roots, but “Clear as Day” doesn’t do that. It gives a good sampling of the world McCreery grew up in down in North Carolina. His fans are going to love “Dirty Dishes,” “Back on the Ground,” and “That Old King James.” Considering he’s already got one of the purest voices in country, the sky’s the limit for McCreery.

Brian Dugger’s column on country music appears in The Blade the last Saturday of every month. Contact him at mailto:%20bdugger@theblade.com or follow him on Twitter @DuggerCountry.


EDIT BY HAILEY: I disagree with the sappy part, but I might be a bit bias! lol
