Scotty McCreery 'Same Truck (Deluxe)' Album Review

After winning America’s hearts on season 10 of American Idol, Scotty McCreery went on to satisfy listeners by releasing albums everyone loves. In 2021, McCreery released his fifth LP Same Truck, and fans loved it. They were lucky enough to receive a deluxe version of the project on November 18, 2022. With six new tracks, listeners are in for a real treat.

The new track, “On It” starts off with a rock type of beat, with hard-hitting drums and electric guitars. This is definitely a get up on your feet and dance around type of tune. The lyrics explain how, no matter what his love interest needs, McCreery will get it done right away. “Just tell me, girl, I’m on it / I got you girl I’m on it / If you need a diamond ring down on one knee kind of moment, I’m on it / I’m on it like the red in a run-down barn / On it like the strings on this guitar / On it like the rust on your grandpa’s Chevy.”

Growing up in a small town, you get to know every nook and cranny. “Live A Little” is relatable for any listener who grew up knowing everyone and every place around them. With vivid imagery, McCreery dreams about wanting to get out of a small town, take risks, and explore new places. The lyrics are catchy and the beat will get the audience's feet tapping.

“Falling For A Stranger” is the epitome of McCreery's sweet and thoughtful songwriting and personality. Throughout the whole record, McCreery is singing about a specific girl and his hometown. He tells listeners through this track in particular that no matter where what time, and who else he meets, he will always be falling for one person even if she will stay a stranger.

With this album being an ode to a small town, it only makes sense for McCreery to end the deluxe version with “Small Town Story.” Going through the chapters of his life in his small town, how he met the girl, and wrote the story of his life with her. he exclaims, “Chapter one learn to crawl, learn to walk, learn to play a little ball / Make some friends, learn to bend that little six-string Yamaha / Got a truck hand-me-down, dove around til graduation day, didn't have too much to say / Then I saw your blue eyes and you smile back at me / Just a matter of time 'til I was down on one knee.”
