American Idol Winner Scotty McCreery Releases Debut Album

American Idol winner Scotty McCreery releases his debut album, ‘Clear As Day,' today.

The 17-year-old country singer made the announcement during his appearance on ‘Good Morning America' on Friday.

"We've been working hard on this album not only in Nashville, but in studios across the country because I've been on the Idol tour," Scotty said. "We're putting what I believe are the best songs we could find on it and I really hope everyone likes it. The whole experience has been amazing! I love working with my album producer, Mark Bright, and have gotten to work with some of the best musicians in Nashville!"

In a press release about the album, producer Mark Bright said of Scotty: "His voice is shockingly great. Everybody knows Scotty has a deep voice, but what a lot of people don't know is that he has a pretty high range. His listeners will get to hear the nuances, emotions and actual range of his voice."

A pre-order package will be available through McCreery's website and will include the album, an autographed 8x10 photo (for limited quantity of orders), a personalized poster and an instant download of the single ‘I Love You This Big.' Also included is a chance to enter a sweepstakes for an ultimate Country Music Association Awards experience featuring a meet?and?greet with Scotty.
