Bucky Covington and Shaun Bayles rock the house in this great shot by the very kind AmaTexMom, who shares more of her beautiful images from the recent KGRT-sponsored Las Cruces show at her site, BuckyFanPics. Thanks for capturing these classic shots, AmaTexMom! Bucky Covington's debut CD is in stores now, and his music videos are available for online viewing at CMT.com and Yahoo Music. You can buy Bucky's album at Amazon, Best Buy , iTunes, WalMart Music and Target, hear the full versions of his singles at CMT and GAC, or enjoy samples of songs from the CD at Bucky's official MySpace. A copy of Bucky Covington can be ordered through his official site or via his official fan club.We'll start off the morning with something fun to look forward to on Thursday night--Bucky Covington and Jason Michael Carroll are in the Artist Spotlight on Lia this evening. (We're guessing some inside Raisin' the Bar info might be on the menu, too.) Buckyflowers noticed the mention on Lia's page, and she adds: "Everybody listen in, call in, and write in. Her staff really follows up." Here's the number to keep handy for later today: 1-800-577-7LIA. Many thanks for the heads-up, Buckyflowers--we'll tune in!
Of course, the big opening show for the hottest tour of the season happens today--Raisin' the Bar, featuring Bucky Covington, Jason Michael Carroll and Cole Deggs & the Lonesome, begins with a bang at the Concrete Street Amphitheater in Corpus Christi, TX at 7 p.m.. You might be able to snag a last-minute spot at Ticketmaster.com, or check the local Ticketmaster locations and the venue box office at 800 Concrete Street. This is a general admission event; no outside chairs permitted, but they'll have a limited number of rental chairs available. Have a blast tonight and if you're going, please satisfy our curiosity and tell us all about it on Friday...
For our list of Raisin' the Bar dates, with venue links and ticket information, click here; and for more about Bucky, Don, Rocky, Shaun and Hans' travels this autumn, head on over to the Tour Info section in our sidebar, then make plans to see these guys live. You'll be glad you did!
And on the charts...well, remember that little stretch of time back in the spring when the number 33 kept popping up every morning for what seemed like a year? We've got a bit of deja-vu about this stretch of deja-vu; "It's Good to Be Us" is once again #36 on the Mediabase weighted chart and #34 on the Top 500. Keep requesting Bucky's latest tune on at your favorite local or streaming country station, vote for it on those local "Top X at X" hours, and later, feel free to mention that you saw the fantastic video on GAC tonight...Bucky's new video is scheduled to be aired on GAC at about 9:08 p.m. ET; after that, it's fair game for a write-in vote on the GAC Top Twenty Country Countdown ballot. "It's Good to Be Us" is making its first appearance on CMT's Pure Country digital channel today, too--no scheduled airtime, but look for it on your set and on their 12-Pack Countdown ballot any time now.
We'll close for the time being with two links to some truly cool concert photos--are there ever too many? These terrific Las Vegas Birthday Breakfast photos come to us via the fine folks at StarPulse, and this beautiful gallery of State Theatre photos by professional photographer Jessica Cieply somehow escaped our notice back in August--they are stunning. Thanks and kudos to all of the talented people who've shared such evocative memories of Bucky's first tour.
Edited to add a link to RockyBucky's excellent photos from the San Diego show at AmericanIdol.com. (This has got to be one of the best Rocky Covington concert shots ever...)
More soon--have a wonderful Thursday!
