A big thanks to our friend Janie, who shares these great photos from Bucky Covington's Raisin' the Bar show at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines earlier this week. Looks like the Des Moines Register writer who concisely but thoroughly sang Bucky's praises before this concert was right--it was indeed a "cool show"!
Bucky also got a little CMA Awards show-related press at the Columbia, SC State this morning: "Carrie Underwood is up for an award, and so is Kellie Pickler. Bucky Covington is a presenter. Is there any doubt what genre of work the next batch of “Idol” singers should consider?" Hmmm...
Sadly, we're still dealing with DSL outage woes here in our building, but I will have a full post for you here as soon as technology allows--I promise. Come on back for our admittedly Bucky-centric CMA Awards preview, and a look at some radio revelations you'll want to consider. Until then, call up your local country station and give "It's Good to Be Us" some request-style affection, and give Bucky's new video a sweet thumbs-up at CMT's Pure Country Pure 12-Pack, and at GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown. More very soon!--Winnie

Hey, Cathy Anne, Pogo, and Anon! Good to see you and sorry I couldn't say hi sooner...no internet here for most of the day. (I was going through withdrawals, honestly...)
