American Idol’s Scotty McCreery Drops 90s Inspired new song “Can’t Pass the Bar”
American Idol season 10 winner Scotty McCreery is kicking off 2024 by giving fans new music, as his new track “Can’t Pass the Bar” is out today (Jan 12) on Triple Tigers.
“I grew up loving ‘90s country music, especially the barn burning songs. I wanted one of my own, so I got together with some of my buddies and we wrote it,” Scotty said. “Can’t wait to perform this song live on the Cab in a Solo Tour.”
Written by Scotty, Brent Anderson, Cale Dodds, and Frank Rogers and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, the rollicking ode to the working man finds the country singer celebrating a long week with a trip to the bar with his buddies.
“Cab in a Solo” garnered most first week adds at country radio
In 2023, Scotty released his current radio single “Cab in a Solo,” which garnered him the most first-week adds at country radio (120) of his career and is moving up the charts, currently in the Top 20 on both Mediabase (#17) and Billboard (#20).
He was inducted to the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame, Scotty joins past honorees in the Hall including fellow American Idol alums, Fantasia, Chris Daughtry, Bucky Covington, Clay Aiken, Kellie Pickler in addition to Eric Church, John Coltrane, Andy Griffith, Ronnie Milsap, Thelonious Monk, Earl Scruggs, Nina Simone, James Taylor, Randy Travis and many more.
Invited to join the Grand Ole Opry
And in December, one of his country music heroes, Garth Brooks, invited Scotty to join the Grand Ole Opry, an honor that he has dreamed about since he was a kid.
Scotty launches his 2024 headlining Cab in a Solo Tour later this month. Anne Wilson will join him as direct support along with Greylan James and Noah Hicks on select dates. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick-off at Hobart Arena in Troy, OH on Jan. 26, 2024, and trek across the U.S. with stops in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston and more.
