Scotty McCreery Is Aiming For A More Traditional Sound On His Next Record

Scotty McCreery is back in the studio gearing up for the release of his new record. In a recent interview the country singer opened up about his ideas for the next project hinting at family and marriage focused theme.

"I just write about life. What I'm living, where I'm at. So it's a lot about my wife," he explains. "I'm sure there'll be a dog theme thrown in there in one of the songs. We have a dog, Moose, so...If you've been following me, and what I've been living the last year and a half to two years-- that's what I've been writing about."

McCreery married his longtime girlfriend Gabi Dugal in June of 2018. Since then, the two have kept busy with their careers and the new puppy they adopted named Moose.

The "In Between" singer went on to explain the musical style he foresees on his next record. He will dive deeper into traditional tendencies that he's shows on previous albums.

"I grew up on the good old country music, so we might be taking it back to that a little bit: a little more fiddle, a little more steel guitar. So, we'll see how that rolls," he says, adding, "That's where my head's at right now."

McCreery isn't alone when it comes to artists incorporating traditional elements in their music. He's excited about the rise of more old-school country music style. "I love it. It's awesome," the singer says.

"There's so many. You've got Luke Combs over there who's bringing it back, Jon Pardi," McCreery adds. "There are so many great traditional acts that are kicking butt, so I love that."
