Edwin McCain is a singer-songwriter that makes music that becomes part of the fabric of our lives. Whether it’s his Top 40 hit “I Could Not Ask For More,” or his incredible Top 5 hit “I’ll Be,” or any of the music he’s done over his 30-year career, his music lives in the hearts of millions around the world. Edwin has just released his 11th full-length studio album, his first since 2011. The album is called Lucky, and it is out now on the BFE/Orchard/Sony label.
In this interview, Edwin shares his thoughts on doing his television show, Flipping Ships, back in 2015. He talks about some of the songs on his new album Lucky, and the experience of working with producer and country star Lee Brice. Edwin also explains the appeal he has with the Filipino people, one thing that he would still love to do in his career, and what touring looks like for the future.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
