Scotty McCreery shares another new song, “Carolina to Me” from his upcoming album, Same Truck, set for release Sept. 17. This, as the American Idol season 10 winner’s current  single, “You Time” nears the Top 5 on the Country Radio charts.

Written with Taylor Phillips and Jeremy Bussey, “Carolina To Me” is a reflection of Scotty’s love for his home state and his deep faith. “To me, North Carolina is just a little piece of Heaven on Earth, and I hope when I get to Heaven, there’s a little bit of North Carolina in it,” the Garner, N.C. native shares.

Scotty will make his debut appearance on “Talk Shop Live” on Monday, Aug. 30 at 8pm ET (7pm CT) where he will perform several songs from the new album and answer questions from viewers. Fans can pre-order signed copies of Same Truck and hear his behind-the-scenes stories of making the album.
