About this listen

Platinum-award winning country music star Scotty McCreery shares his journey from North Carolina to American Idol and the top of the country music charts.

American Idol was just a simple singing competition that seemed fun to audition for. Who knew what kind of doors it might open for a sixteen-year-old from Garner, North Carolina?

Go Big or Go Home is the story of a kid with country songs in his soul. Daring to enter the limelight at a young age, Scotty found himself embraced by the nation, and even overseas, as he competed on season 10 of American Idol.

In Go Big or Go Home, Scotty shares his journey from his North Carolina roots to winning America's most popular singing competition and launching the musical career he had always dreamed of. Along the way, Scotty teaches us:

  • What it means to have an uncompromising faith
  • The power of dreaming big
  • The importance of embracing your God-given talents

Join Scotty as he shares a glimpse of where he came from and the impact his faith, family, and friends have had on a humble guy who keeps asking, "Why me?"

Critic reviews

"Revealing, touching, and often humorous, Go Big or Go Home takes fans behind the scenes of Scotty McCreery's journey so far and pulls back the curtain on American Idol and the music industry while McCreery navigates the tricky waters of instant fame with grace, insight, and, above all, gratitude for the gifts he has been given."

--Melinda Newman, music journalist

"Being an artist takes you out of your comfort zone and thrusts you into the world. Some of what you experience you are prepared for and some of it you aren't. To quote the country music prophet Aaron Tippin, 'You've got to stand for somethin' or you'll fall for anything.' Scotty McCreery stands for something. You hear it in his voice. You see it in his actions. And you feel it in his songs. This book outlines the wild ride he's been on being thrust into the world."

--Josh Turner, Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum-selling MCA recording artist and bestselling author

Scotty has/is a truly amazing young man!

The 1st time we saw him in the tryouts of American Idol, I turned to my husband and said, "he's going to be the one to watch this year!" I'm so glad he won. I knew he was an amazing young man then and over the last 5 years, I've thought the same several times. And now his book..... I purchased it this morning and couldn't turn it off until the end.
Scotty, congratulations to you and to your parents..... you truly are an amazing child of God!

Love it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Loved every minute of this book. Have been a huge fan since I first saw him on competition. A real God fearing man who is not afraid to show his soft side. Well Done Scotty!

Totally awesome

Would you consider the audio edition of Go Big or Go Home to be better than the print version?

Yes I would, because I think hearing Scotty reading the story. I was able to picture it better, able to see what he was going through at the time.

What did you like best about this story?

His experience on American Idol

What does Scotty McCreery bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings it more to life. Hearing him read it, made it feel more real to me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes, it's been on my list since it became available

Any additional comments?

Scotty McCreery keep up the great work!

GREATEST AUDIBLE BOOK EVER

I have the Hard copy of this book and have read it many times. I have to say The Audible Version is 100 times better. It is narrated by Scotty McCreery himself and seems like you are setting next to him carrying on a normal conversation. I would HIGHLY recommend this to ANYONE.
