Coffee break update (and a Music City Update, too)

Bucky Covington's debut CD is in stores now, and his music video is now available for online viewing at CMT.com and Yahoo Music. You can buy Bucky's album at Amazon, Best Buy , iTunes and Target, hear the full version of his single "A Different World" at CMT and GAC, preview his entire CD at Clear Channel Music, or enjoy samples of songs from the CD at Bucky's official MySpace. An autographed copy of Bucky Covington can be pre-ordered while supplies last at his official site or via his official fan club. Photo by Aaron Crisler/ Music City Update .com.

(Edited to add an update from Bucky himself, via Twitter--look for an interview with Bucky on Blair Garner's syndicated After Midnite show this evening. Click here to find the station nearest you, and get ready for a double helping of late-night fun, courtesy of Jimmy, Blair and Bucky...)

Aaron Crisler of Music City Update was on hand for Monday's CMT Music Awards, and his photos are an absolute must-see! You can check out more of his great red-carpet shots (including beautiful portraits of Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler) at MusicCity Update.com.

And while we're counting down the hours until Bucky's Jimmy Kimmel Live indoor concert at midnight ET on ABC, here's a quick chart update: Bucky's "A Different World" is now #24 with a bullet on the Radio & Records/BDS chart, up one from last week. He's also making a big splash on iTunes , where at last report his album, Bucky Covington, was #4 on the iTunes Top 10 Country chart. Lookin' very good, indeed! (Thanks to Tracy for the iTunes news.)

A quick reminder about the next Idol Tonight rerun--you can catch it again at 5 p.m. ET on the TV Guide Channel. Bucky spends the first twenty minutes or so of the show with Kim, Rosanna and Justin, and shares his view of the country night happenings.

And finally--yep, another poll! Clear Channel's Video on Demand wants to know what your favorite video is, and Bucky's "A Different World" is one of the choices. If there isn't a participating country station near you, feel free to borrow mine--WGAR (which offers streaming audio) is running the poll on their site. Have fun and give Bucky a boost!

More soon...
