Scotty McCreery‘s “Your Man” duet with Josh Turner is out! The song is from McCreery’s new 15 album, scheduled to be released on July 17. Releasing “Your Man” is a full-circle moment for McCreery, who sang the song for his original American Idol audition in 2011.
“I have been a major Josh Turner fan since ‘Long Black Train’ was released,” McCreery says. “Getting to know him has been something little Scotty would never have imagined, and having the honor of recording ‘Your Man’ with him is a moment I’ll never get over. If I was him, I would have been a little irritated that this teenage kid kept singing my songs on TV….but Josh has been nothing but gracious and kind to me from day one, and he even inducted me into the Grand Ole Opry a few years ago.
“They say you should never meet your heroes,” he adds. “But that certainly does not apply here. He’s become a mentor and valued friend.”
“Your Man” is Turner’s first No. 1 single. The song, out by Turner in 2005, is written by Chris Stapleton, Chris DuBois, and Jace Everett.
“I’m very honored to have been asked to sing on my song, ‘Your Man,’ on Scotty’s new project,” says Turner. “He came on the scene singing that song and has had a great career ever since.
“Of course, I take credit for all of his success!” he jokes. “Congrats to Scotty on 15 years! It’s no small feat.”
What Scotty McCreery Says About ’15’
McCreery is releasing 15 to celebrate being part of country music for 15 years. The record includes some of his previous hits, along with his “Bottle Rockets” collaboration with Hootie & the Blowfish, and more.
“Man, fifteen years goes by like a flash,” McCreery says of the milestone record. “Some days it feels like yesterday when I did my initial American Idol audition in Milwaukee, while other days it feels like it happened a hundred years ago. I’ve lived a lot of life, traveled millions of miles, and followed my dreams, all thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my family, my team, and all the fans who have supported me through these 15 years.”
Other songs on 15 include covers of Kris Kristofferson’s “Why Me, Lord?” and Conway Twitty’s “Hello Darlin’,” plus a brand-new song, “Been a Good Run,” written by McCreery, Rodney Clawson, Monty Criswell, and Derek George.
