Watch Scotty McCreery Cover Old Country Classics in Medley

I’ve heard a lot of famous people talk about how they were losers when they were young.  What follows next is them saying THAT’S what drove them to be so successful.  That’s certainly CHASE BRYANT’sstory.

He says, quote, “I was the odd kid in school.  I was the kid that got picked on.  I was the kid who was told it never would work, but music was where all that stuff went away.  It was where when I step on stage, I become this whole other person.”

There’s also that feeling that they NEED to perform or they’ll die.  He suffers from that too.  Quote, “Success for me is like food for an animal:  I think it’s what helps you grow.

“I decided the only way to do that was to keep working and keep working and keep carving and carving and carving.  I want to be one of the guys who’s going to do something that’s maybe a little different and change the face of something.”

The country community is still in shock over the death of CRAIG MORGAN’s son Jerry, who lost his life in a tubing accident on Sunday.  People.com has a collection of their social media posts.

SCOTTY MCCREERY is not afraid to tackle the country classics.  There’s a video of him performing a medley that includes Roger Miller’s “King of the Road”, Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried”, Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues”, Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee” . . . and Alabama’s “Mountain Music”.
