\n\tScotty McCreery<\/a> has posted five Billboard Country Airplay chart-toppers during his career, including a streak of signature hits such as \u201cDamn Strait\u201d and \u201cIn Between.\u201d But now, he\u2019s gearing up to shine a spotlight on many of the hits, and album cuts, that have inspired him.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Thursday (June 26), McCreery was announced as the host of a new monthly show on SiriusXM\u2019s Prime Country (Channel 58), which highlights country music of the 1980s and 1990s. Prime Country With Scotty McCreery<\/em> will premiere Saturday, July 5 at 3 p.m. ET, with new episodes premiering the first Saturday of every month at 3 p.m. ET on Prime Country. Each show will also be rebroadcast on the channel several times throughout the month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI love country music from every decade, but the country music of the \u201980s and \u201990s is probably my favorite era of music. I\u2019m excited to put a spotlight on the songs and performers I grew up listening to that helped shape the artist I am today,\u201d McCreery tells Billboard<\/em> in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe notes that the debut episode will feature music from artists including Garth Brooks, George Strait, Randy Travis, Kathy Mattea, Patty Loveless, Keith Whitley, Ronnie Milsap and John Anderson.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEach song is handpicked by me,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ll be sharing stories of how an artist influenced me or how I met them or something we may have experienced together on the road or backstage at an awards show or the Opry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEven when McCreery made his career debut on American Idol<\/em> (he won the talent competition\u2019s 10th season), his allegiance to \u201980s and \u201990s country music was clear in his performances of songs such as Travis Tritt\u2019s \u201cCan I Trust You With My Heart\u201d and Strait\u2019s \u201cI Cross My Heart.\u201d His three-week Country Airplay No. 1 hit \u201cDamn Strait\u201d also nods to the Country Music Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

\n\tMcCreery was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in April 2024, when he was ushered into Opry membership by fellow country music hitmaker Josh Turner. McCreery is using his new show to highlight his passion for the Grand Ole Opry and its essential contributions to country music\u2019s history and present-day global influence.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEvery month I\u2019ll also be sharing a live Opry performance that was recorded on that legendary stage during the \u201880s or \u201890s. My first episode will feature Joe Diffie performing \u2018Pick Up Man\u2019 on the Opry stage from Oct. 18, 1997,\u201d McCreery previews.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, McCreery fans can also hear a few songs from McCreery himself. \u201cYou\u2019ll also hear one or two of my songs on the show because \u2013 hey! It\u2019s my show! I\u2019m hoping in the future to occasionally have guest artists join me for some conversation as well. I\u2019m really pumped to be able to do this and I appreciate SiriusXM offering me this opportunity. I hope people tune in and enjoy it!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
