By request, Bucky Covington smiles out at the crowd during his concert at the Southern New Mexico State Fair in early October; photo courtesy of the kind folks at KGRT in Las Cruces, who sponsored the smash-hit show. Click the image to see more beautiful shots from that concert at the station's events gallery.A little fun to start off the weekend:
Could we be hearing some holiday sounds by Bucky Covington as the snow begins to fall and the temperature starts to drop? Word has it that there's a very charming Covington-style version of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" that might be rockin' your country station's airwaves very soon. We'll keep an ear out for details on that bit of holiday cheer...
AmericanIdol.com is wishing Bucky a happy birthday on their front page even as we speak--head over there for Marnie's excellent look back at what has been an amazing year for one of Idol's--and now country music's--hottest new talents...
And at CMT, there's a brand new option on the Top 20 Countdown viewer's poll --bookmark that page and give "It's Good to Be Us" a round of applause once a week. There's also a handy, easy-to-use Bucky Covington message board there, in case you'd like to talk about the video with a fun group of Bucky's CMT-watching fans...
If you missed last night's 2007 CMA Awards (or if you'd just like to see it on the big screen again) CMT has you covered--they'll be rerunning the entire extravanganza, including the red carpet, on Thursday, November 22nd beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Mark your calendar and catch an hour of red carpet coverage, followed by the main event at 8 p.m.
Coming up later today--a voting guide for the perplexed, and all of Friday morning's news. See you in a few hours!--Winnie
I am going to keep my ears open for Bucky singing 'Santa Clause is Coming to Town'!! How awesome!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Icyfire! Very fun news--it'll be sweet to hear Bucky during the whole holiday-tune blitz on the radio. I promise to update as soon as I've got more details (and if anyone out there has details, feel free to spill... :)
ReplyDeleteThanx for your coverage Winnie :)
ReplyDeleteI would also love to hear Bucky sing a Christmas song such as O Come All Ye Faithful or one of the ones that truly gives glory to the season. I think he can deliver it in heartfelt sincerity :)
Hi Cathy Anne, and thanks--it's my pleasure. :) I agree--that would be lovely, especially with an acoustic arrangement...
ReplyDeleteBucky's "Santa Claus" rocks! There's supposed to be two versions, each with a brief spoken message at the beginning. One of the messages is the "PC" version, so who knows which version radio will air. Does radio take requests for Christmas songs? This could become a whole new requesting campaign! You won't be disappointed when you hear it!
ReplyDeleteHappy thanks Giving.
ReplyDeleteOne of your Bucky Fan!
Hoping to see more in Christmas time.
