Thanks to American Idol, we fell in love with the sweet sound of Scotty McCreeryâs low, classic country voice. Because of his incredible performances and staying true to his country roots throughout the competition, McCreery won the tenth season of American Idol.
He continued to stay true to his roots with his music post-Idol and always pays tribute to his heroes including Randy Travis, George Jones, and Conway Twitty. While itâs never a surprise when he covers a classic country song, it is always a treat.
When McCreery was playing an acoustic show in 2015, he knew he wanted to end it with Jonesâ hit song âThe Grand Tour.â After just singing the first three words of the song, the crowd went wild!
âThe Grand Tourâ was released in 1974 from Georgeâs album of the same name. The song was a total hit, and became Georgeâs sixth #1 song on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
Weâre pretty sure that even Jones would be impressed by McCreeryâs rendition, so check it out for yourself and prepare to be amazed!
