Friday news: breakfast with Bucky, Bucky and Jason on GAC, chartgazing and more...

Bucky Covington strums with a flourish (top) and rocks out with Don Medlock and Shaun Bayles (scroll down) in these two fantastic photos from last weekend's Chillicothe show by the very kind Danna. Thanks so much for the beautiful shots, Danna! Bucky Covington's debut CD is in stores now, and his music video for "A Different World" is 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 version of his single "A Different World" 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 at his official site or via his official fan club.

Bucky Covington's performance this morning at the KWNR Birthday Breakfast in the Railhead club at Boulder Station was a smash success, by all accounts. Bucky sang for (and chatted with) a standing room only crowd, including some who'd driven in from neighboring states to make the show. Huge thanks to KWNR for streaming a bit of the fun this morning--no word yet on whether any audio or photos will be available at the station's site, but we'll keep an ear out, just in case. Some very kind fans shared a play-by-play in our comments section and at Moosak--thanks so much, y'all!

(And since KWNR has given us such a handy-dandy segue, we'll continue the breakfast theme with a reminder about that exciting Denny's sweepstakes. How'd you like a VIP Country Music Experience to go with that Grand Slam? Click that link for details, and good luck--hope you'll be the fortunate fan introducing Bucky on stage...)

Bucky, Rocky, Shaun, Don and Hans will continue to rock the West this weekend--here's a look at tomorrow's event in sunny San Diego:

Saturday, 10/20/2007 6:00 p.m.
KSON CountryFest East
Lakeside Rodeo Grounds Arena
Highway 67 and Mapleview
Lakeside, CA
(with Josh Gracin)

Website: http://www.kson.com/events/ConcertList.cfm
Ticket info: "Tickets are only $5 and are ON SALE NOW here online or during regular business hours at Daltons Roadhouse in San Marcos, Wild Bill's Western Emporium in El Cajon or InCahoots in Mission Valley."
Directions: Available at venue site

Thanks again, Danna!Be sure to hit our Tour Info section in the sidebar for all the information you'll need to make a great Bucky Covington show part of your live music plans this autumn...

Bucky's doing great on the radio, too--"It's Good to Be Us" moved up again to #35 on the Mediabase Top 500, and it's standing its ground at #39 on the weighted chart. Those bullets are getting bigger--great news--and they could be bigger still. Keep requesting "It's Good to Be Us" at your favorite local or streaming country station, and if you'll be listening to Lia, The Big Time with Whitney Allen , Danny Wright All Night or After Midnite this evening, give them a call and make a request. (It's always fun to make a request via AIM at After Midnite, too. Blair Garner's crew are incredibly nice people, and if they play Bucky for you, they'll say your screen name--no matter how silly--on the air. Give it a whirl and enjoy fifteen seconds of fame!)

We'll close with some hot-off-the-presses news from GAC's Top Twenty Country Countdown--"Next week's episode will surely be one you don't want to miss as Bucky Covington and Jason Michael Carroll stop by for a visit." Get that popcorn ready!

Edited to add a link to Team Covington, where Kathy and her friend Leighanne have some truly sweet concert shots you'll love...

Have a great Friday--see you soon!
