Scotty McCreery joins Annie and Cole for Friday Friends on 97.1 Hank FM, and this conversation runs deep. Ahead of his Morgan County Pre-Fair concert with Josh Turner and Lori Morgan, McCreery reflects on a true full-circle moment: collaborating with his childhood hero Josh Turner on "Your Man" for the album "15."

He opens up about the small-town value that still guides him — treating everyone with the same respect, no matter who they are. McCreery also shares the buzz around his Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Finals and the electric energy uniting his whole community.

Plus, he marks 15 years as an Opry member, keeps the mystery of his backstage initiation alive, and talks about balancing the road with two young sons at home.

Listen now, then catch Scotty McCreery live at the Morgan County Fairgrounds.
