Nashville, TN – September 26, 2007 – It was just another day of work – and fun – for Bucky Covington when he showed up to the set of his music video for his latest single, "It's Good To Be Us." Shot at Ballance MotoX in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the fast paced video features tricks performed by freestyle motocross riders and a live musical performance on the track.

"I've been on the road so much so this is a good excuse for me to get some riding in," laughs Bucky. "Actually, it's such a high-energy song and so I thought the speed of motocross and freestyle would be a great fit for the music video."

Freestyle Motocross champion Cowboy Kenny Bartram, who also starred in the CMT reality series "Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge," made a cameo appearance in the music video. The camera captured Cowboy Kenny displaying some of his skills on the ramps that led him to become one of the top athletes in the sport.

"I was excited to shoot the video and especially work with [director] Trey again," said Bucky "but I've got to say that I was the most excited to finally get to see someone do some more of these stunts live more than anything else. Kenny was amazing – he did tail whips, superman and knock off jumps – I was totally blown away."

Bucky and director Trey Fanjoy first collaborated on the music video for his debut single "A Different World," a fan favorite at both CMT and GAC. The video for "It's Good To Be Us" is expected to be released in the upcoming weeks.


Bucky Covington is 2007's best-selling debut country artist. His self-titled CD opened at 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with not only 2007's biggest unit debut from a new country artist, but also the best first week sales and highest Top 200 debut for any new male country artist since Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992. His new single "It's Good To Be Us" is climbing the country radio charts on the heels of the Top 5 success of his first single "A Different World." In recent months Covington's national television appearances have included Live with Regis and Kelly, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Good Morning America and Fox & Friends.
