Review: The songs were written by well-established country songwriters for Scotty McCreery who was 17 at the time of recording.  They reflect his youth and are great for any audience.  Track Number 6 Walk in the Country is a cover of a song written by Keith Urban and was previously recorded and released by Keith.  This album is a great first country album.  The content is true to country themes of summertime, mom, first love and small town America.  The songs show off Scotty’s vocal range and deep resonant voice.  

I must admit prior to listening to the CD I had no idea who the Scotty was.  He is the Winner of the 10^th season of American Idol.  The CD was a gift from a music executive to my husband and spent the last few months unplayed.  While I enjoy country music, it is not my first choice.  When my 14-year-old niece told me her friend loves Scotty and is a huge fan.  I knew I would have to listen.  I was really pleased.  The tunes will get your toes tapping.  The lyrics are playful and the album will leave you smiling and feeling good.
