American Idol 's most recently crowned winner Scotty McCreery has already crossed Disneyland off his list , and now the 17-year-old singer is hoping to visit the top of the charts with the release of his debut album, Clear As Day .

Ep.461 - CMA Fest 2011 - Nashville, TN After receiving a big ole fat "declined" email in response to my Bonnaroo media application, I had to think long and hard about shelling out $300 to sweat it out on the farm without the luxuries of the press area. Since CMA Fest is always scheduled for the same weekend, I decided it would be best to stay in town and see what goes down for the Country music fans. After all, it was CMA [...]
