Scotty McCreery: The Seasons Really Change

For Scotty McCreery, who was just a teenager when he auditioned for and ultimately won American Idol in 2011, he doesn’t think that youth was on his side when it came to making country music. “I couldn’t have made this record when I was 17. I couldn’t have made this record when I was 20. I just didn’t have it in me. The craft wasn’t there,” McCreery told Billboard Country Update about his single “Five More Minutes” and his forthcoming album Seasons Change.
