Later in the afternoon, it premiered online via YouTube with a special live chat featuring the Triple Tigers recording artist.

The video opens with candid clips of country star in the studio recording “Cab in a Solo” alongside his co-producer Frank Rogers and his son, Avery, marking the young boy’s music video debut. This clip gives viewers a glimpse of the calmer aspects of the job before intertwining snippets of McCreery performing his biggest show to date.

The concert footage shown in the video was filmed at the University of Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE in August of 2023 following the Ladies Volleyball Team’s winning match against Omaha. That evening, McCreery brought his collection of hits to the stage in front of 92,003 fans, which set a new world record for highest attendance at a women’s sporting event.

“This video showcases both the quieter parts of my life like having my son Avery with me in the studio with Frank, as well as the wilder parts of my life such as performing in front of the biggest live audience of my career,” said McCreery. “I am looking forward to hearing what the fans think after they watch it premiere on CMT and YouTube.”   

The Story Behind McCreery’s “Cab In A Solo”

With a nostalgia-fueled sound racing through the melody, McCreery depicts a heart-wrenching scenario through his distinct baritone vocals. The clever songwriting sets the scene for the couple at hand, who appear to be walking on thin ice. In an effort to repair the damage that’s been done and restore their love, the man arrives at his girlfriend’s home with a bottle of wine and flowers. Unfortunately, when things don’t go as planned, he finds himself drowning in the realization that things could be over between them. 

“Sittin’ here, I can’t believe what I just saw / Couple shadows kissin’ on the bedroom wall / It’s lookin’ like my plan didn’t work out at all / Heartbreak turned into broke up / So now I’m findin’ out how a heartbreak taste / With a Silver Oak, 1998 / Drinkin’ cab in a solo / Solo in the cab of my truck,” McCreery sings on the chorus. 

Co-written by McCreery with Brent Anderson and Frank Rogers, “Cab in a Solo” marks the North Carolina native’s fastest moving single to date. It earned 120 first-week adds at country radio, the most he’s seen in his career yet. The song is currently sitting in the Top 20 on both Mediabase (17) and Billboard at (20).

McCreery’s ’90s Country Spirit Shines In His Latest Release, “Can’t Pass The Bar”

The unveiling of his new music video comes hot on the heels of the release of his lively new track, “Can’t Pass the Bar.” This song hones in on McCreery’s ‘90s country spirit, as the chorus finds him celebrating the end of a work week with some blue-collar “good ole boys.”

“I grew up loving ‘90s country music, especially the barn burning songs. I wanted one of my own, so I got together with some of my buddies, and we wrote it,” McCreery shared of the new song. “Can’t wait to perform this song live on the Cab in a Solo Tour.”
