With his latest album Rise & Fall, featuring his sixth No. 1 single ?Cab in a Solo,? current single ?Fall of Summer,? and 12 additional tracks, McCreery explores classic themes of heartbreak, rowdy nights, nostalgia, faith, newfound joy, fatherhood, and enduring love, and through it all, felt comfortable being himself, resulting in a project full of electrified twang, rich baritone vocals and insightful storytelling.
