First look at Saturday...

Bucky Covington in a brand-new promo photo from a recent photoshoot; visit his MySpace to see more. Bucky's new music video is now available for online viewing at CMT.com and Yahoo Music. You can pre-order Bucky's debut CD at Amazon, Best Buy and Target, hear the full version of his single "A Different World" at CMT, or enjoy samples of four songs from the CD at Bucky's official MySpace. An autographed copy of Bucky Covington can be pre-ordered at his official site or via his official fan club.

Thanks for bearing with us during our tech glitch!

(Edited to add a link to WTCQ's gallery of shots from Bucky's outdoor acoustic performance in Sarasota...enjoy Rocky on percussion, a bevy of orange-shorts-clad beauties, a decidedly un-tricked truck, and lots more...)

Looks like this past week's dueling countdowns were chock-full of cheer; Bucky's video for "A Different World" rose to the #8 position on the GAC Top 20 Country Countdown, and hit the Number One spot on CMT's Pure Country 12-Pack. (Feel free to click those links and vote again for next week's countdowns--momentum is a lovely thing!) Between that rich slab of good news, and this week's debut at #19 on the CMT Top 20 Countdown, Bucky's beautiful video is gracing our screens more and more often these days...

Tonight's GAC countdown also featured a commercial advertising this fun sweepstakes for a free trip to the Music City Walk of Fame events in Nashville--apparently, one of the prizes is a pair of jeans autographed by Bucky! This rare designer denim collectible is only one of the treats the winner will enjoy; among the others are VIP seats at the Music City Walk of Fame Ceremony, a Gibson guitar signed by the April 2007 Walk of Fame Inductees, and roundtrip airfare with a four-night hotel stay. Enter before March 30th, and good luck--hope you'll be the one to enjoy those Music City delights!

Back with a bit more news later today...
