The Country Music Association has been pulling out all the stops this year in celebration of their 50th anniversary, including having newer artists covering award-winning staples from the country music catalog. And now, Scotty McCreery is added to the growing list of performers for the incredible “Forever Country” Cover Series with a gripping rendition of the Jamey Johnson masterpiece, “In Color.”
Winning the 2009 CMA Song of the Year Award for Johnson, “In Color” also maintains an emotional and special place in McCreery’s heart – it’s essentially the song that started his career. McCreery first performed “In Color” in 2009 when he won his very first musical competition, “Clayton Idol,” in Clayton, North Carolina. It was that win that gave him confidence to later try out for “American Idol.” And that confidence remains, as McCreery confidentially does justice to the reminiscing ballad, accompanied by two of his band members: Jeffrey Harper and Dylan Rosson.
