Scotty McCreery on the making of 'Bottle Rockets'

from Katie & Company

Scotty McCreery sits atop the Country charts this week with his Hootie & The Blowfish collaboration, "Bottle Rockets," and during a talk with Katie Neal the singer shared how it all came together. Plus, Scotty details his fantasy football league with Darius Rucker and reveals what's at stake each season, all during this week's 'Superstar Power Hour.' "Frank and Darius, they worked together a long time and they're from South Carolina, and they invited me into their fantasy football league a few years ago," shares Scotty about his first foray into friendship with Darius Rucker. "We're all good golfing buddies, football buddies, and so I hit him up and said, 'man, I don't know if you're going to like this at all, but, we we were thinking of y'all when we wrote this and want to get your thoughts.' And he just wrote back, 'oh my God, dude, I love this. This is an absolute smash.'" Rucker sent it along to the rest of Hootie & The Blowfish, who also loved it, and it "just all kind of snowballed from there." The number one is song is amazing and all, but tell us more about this fantasy football league. "I don't talk a lot of smack about him because he's traditionally not a really good fantasy player, but he did just beat me this week. So I can't talk too much smack," admits McCreery about his league and his team, the Raleigh Rascals. "I've been second place now three years." "If you lose, like if you come in last place, we all go on a trip and do like a nice dinner for the draft, and the whole bill is on the loser, like last place," he adds. "So that's alcohol and that's the meals, and it's at least 15 to 20 people that'll show up. So it's nobody wants to be last." To hear Scotty share the other Country star that competes in the league, the latest on dad life, and more listen to the full conversation above.
