Country music star Scotty McCreery is celebrating a pivotal chapter in his career with the release of Seasons Change: Platinum Edition. This special reissue of his 2018 chart-topping album is available now on platinum-colored double vinyl exclusively through Amazon.com and on CD at ScottyMcCreery.com for a limited time.
A Milestone Album Revisited
Originally released in 2018, Seasons Change debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart, marking a turning point in McCreery’s career. The album features his first three No. 1 singles: the triple-Platinum hit “Five More Minutes,” the Platinum-certified “This Is It,” and Gold-certified “In Between.” McCreery co-wrote all 11 original tracks, showcasing his strength as both a vocalist and storyteller.
The new Platinum Edition includes four additional songs not found on the original release. Fans can enjoy acoustic versions of all three chart-topping singles, as well as a heartfelt fan favorite, “Still.” These acoustic tracks were recorded live at the Cascade Theatre in Redding, California, and were produced by McCreery’s bass player and tour manager Nathan Thomas, alongside band leader Jeffrey Harper and former lead guitarist Dylan Rosson.
The reissue also includes updated artwork, a refreshed album cover, and new liner notes and thank you messages from McCreery, reflecting on the impact of this defining album.
“Seasons Change truly changed my life,” said McCreery. “It was the first project that really felt 100% me and where I was in life at that time. I’m a guy who loves to reminisce, and I’m thrilled to bring Seasons Change back in this special Platinum edition.”
Television Appearance and New Music
McCreery will perform a solo acoustic rendition of “Five More Minutes” during the CMA Fest presented by SoFi television special, airing Thursday, June 26 at 8 pm ET (7 pm CT) on ABC, and streaming the following day on Hulu. The performance was filmed during CMA Fest’s nightly concerts at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
In addition, McCreery recently dropped a new summer single, “Bottle Rockets” featuring Hootie & The Blowfish. The track became the No. 1 most added song at Country Radio during its first week, landing 110 stations. It currently sits at No. 24 on Mediabase and No. 22 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The song was co-written by McCreery, alongside a powerhouse group including Darius Rucker, Frank Rogers, Jeremy Bussey, and more.
