Bucky Covington on stage at Coyote Joe's in Charlotte, North Carolina on 11/23; photo by the very gracious Happydays, who shares more of her images from that rockin' evening in her Photobucket album. Thanks again, Happydays!Here's a little footnote to last night's ultra-cool link to that Bucky Covington CMT Insider News Now interview video from the Wildhorse--as of post time, you can also access the link from the front page of CMT.com, where Bucky's photo graces the Loaded bar. (Hey, Bucky's fans always said he was front page news...)
And over at GAC, Bucky's video for "It's Good to Be Us" is moving up in the world; you can catch it several times a day now, as a quick look at the video airtimes for the week reveals. GAC's also got a tie-in contest for the 2008 Sound and Speed event in Nashville, which happens on January 11 and 12th. The Grand Prize winner gets round trip airfare for him or herself and a guest; ground transportation, hotel accomodations, tickets to all the Sound and Speed events and an autographed guitar. Bucky will be among the country performers participating in the "Backstage Garage Pass" fan-fair event--if you're the winner, say hi to him for us!
And finally, a bit of fun from CountryWeekly.com--their CMA Awards red carpet gallery features a great exclusive shot of Bucky on the very first page, along with a quip about that subtly sparkling jacket we admired that evening: American Idol alumnus Bucky Convington struts down the red carpet in a last-minute decision of Manuel. “How did I not know this store was here?” Bucky says. (Manuel is responsible for dressing many of Nashville's legends, past and present, in unforgettable style; there's an excellent overview of his stellar "cowboy couture" at About.com.)
More very soon--Winnie

Morning and thanks, Anon and Anon! I am working on the Wednesday morning post now and a "what's coming in 2008" (that we know of) is a great idea. That Cancun Cantina date in the summer is going to make a lot of people who where there for this summer's show very happy!
ReplyDeleteAs far as recording goes--I haven't heard anything, but with so many potential singles to choose from on his current CD, there probably won't be a lot of news on that front in the very near future--just my guess, there. (You really never know!)
For sure on the lack of need to record anything else right now. We still have "Bible and the Belt", "I'll Walk", "AFN" and "Hometown" to be released as singles as all are crowd favorites at live shows! Any of those could and should top the charts later on down the road in 2008!
