Carlton Ray Scott Jr. (born December 5, 1969, in Semora, North Carolina) is an American country music artist.

Warner Brothers released his debut album, My Kind of Music, and its title track became a top 40 single in 2005.

He independently released Crazy Like Me (2008) and Rayality (2011), which gave him a physical product on the road and support from Sirius XM.

[3] "Drinkin Beer" and "Ain’t Always Thirsty" received Sirius airplay, as did one of his best-known singles: "Those Jeans" from the Rayality album, produced by Dave Brainard (Jerrod Neimann, Brandy Clark).

According to Scott, ""Honky Tonk Heart" is all about who I am, and it's an ode to all the troubadours out there runnin' up and down the highways keeping real country music alive because they love it, live it, and breathe it.
