We keep getting more and more news about “American Idol” Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery’s debut album, including the latest that he’ll be covering an early song by Keith Urban.
McCreery said the album is mostly new material, but Urban suggested he take on one of his songs.
“There’s technically going to be one cover,” McCreery told the Boston Globe. “Keith Urban pitched a song my way, and it’s one he did way back when he was part of the band called The Ranch. He’s on tour right now so we don’t know, but he said he might play guitar on the track.”
He hasn’t revealed the title of the song, but we’ll let you know as soon as the news hits.
McCreery’s album “Clear as Day” is set to be released Oct. 4. McCreery says you’ll hear other influences on the album aside from Urban’s.
“It has some old country influences and elements, but it also has a contemporary feel with fun up-tempo songs,” he said. “It’s a good mixture. You can hear some of the influences that I grew up with, like Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and Merle Haggard, but it still has a contemporary twist and feel that keeps it up to date.”
Yesterday, we shared a sneak listen to a track from the album called “The Trouble With Girls.”

Reigning “American Idol” champion Scotty McCreery’s new single “The Trouble With Girls” is set to debut on radio stations tomorrow, but we’ve got it here for you to listen to now!
It’s a ballad and right in Scotty’s tender range. The lyrics are a bit juvenile if you ask me (“girls sure are pretty”), but then I have to remind myself Scotty is only a teenager. It would be even more weird if he was singing about a life filled with battles and challenges.
Scotty’s debut album “Clear as Day” comes out Oct. 4 but, again, you can hear “The Trouble With Girls” from the album now.
What do you think of the song, Scotty fans?

“American Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe was recently asked by E! which of his two nominated shows should win the Emmy for Best Reality Competition Program on Sept. 18.
Lythgoe who also produces “So You Think You Can Dance” said “It’s a bit like deciding which child gets the sweets!” But to be fair, he went with is oldest “child.”
“I guess I would prefer American Idol because it’s been around for so long and it’s so deserving of an Emmy,” Lythgoe told E!
This marks the ninth time “American Idol” has been nominated for the Emmy, but it has never won.
Both show hosts are also nominated for the hosting Emmy. Lythgoe said if Idol wins the big Emmy, then he’d be OK with SYTYCD host Cat Deeley beating Idol host Ryan Seacrest to even the score.
Of course the interview with E! seemed to believe those two shows were only up against one another. Not true. They have some very tough competition. The other nominees are “Project Runway,” “Top Chef,” “The Amazing Race,” and “Dancing With The Stars.”
Who do you think will win the Emmys?
