Scotty picked Tim McGraw’s “7500 OBO” because of it’s Clear Country connection.
(Each day this last week of the year, a different Clear Crew member will pick their favorite song of the year and share some thoughts of why they picked it.)
Back in the spring or summer, this song became a #1 song for Tim. We had been watching it climb the charts, rooting for it to get to the top, because it was written by Jenn Schott. Jen is a Mizzou graduate, and former Clear 99 listener!
Jen’s story is one of those interesting Nashville stories, because she had been in town as a songwriter for 20 years and this was her first #1 as a writer, a REALLY big deal!
We had a chance to talk to Jen in 2021 when Tim decided to release the song, and you can find the podcast in the Liz & Scotty’s Poddy section, episode 28!
