Scotty McCreery burst onto the country music scene when he became the youngest male singer to ever win American Idol back in 2011, when he was just 17 years old. He grew up in Garner, North Carolina, just outside of Raleigh, where he developed his talent by singing and playing music at the local Baptist Church. Scotty talks with Sid about his new album, Rise & Fall, which showcases some different sides of his personality, from being a man of faith and family to being a man who occasionally likes a cold drink and a good time. He also talks about his Puerto Rican heritage, the ups and downs of his career, and what it meant to be inducted recently into the Grand Ole Opry.
