Saturday news: chart moves and quiet times...

Two requested images taken by one talented photographer! Bucky Covington gets lost in the music (top) and gets up close and personal (scroll down) in two beautiful concert shots taken at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville by our good friend Trish. Thanks so much, Trish! (Click the images to view them full size.) 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 at his official site or via his official fan club.

The year is winding down in a quiet fashion--until that exciting US99 New Year's Eve Ball gets started at the Holiday Inn Select & Convention Center in Tinley Park, that is. (Bucky Covington, Luke Bryan and headliner Keith Anderson are all set to help you ring 2008 in style; check Ticketmaster now for any last-minute options, and have fun!)

Other than that, the scene's fairly serene this morning, but a stop at Mediabase indicates that things are looking good for Bucky and "It's Good to Be Us" once those year-end syndicated countdowns are done--it moves up one to #26 on the weighted chart today, and holds on strong at #27 on the and Top 500. Tune in and listen to see if the coast is clear for a call, and if your favorite local or streaming country station is taking requests, ask for Bucky! Some of tonight's syndicated country radio shows might also be in "year in review" mode--listen in and see...

  2. I emailed the people at the Briarpatch B&B in Middleberg, VA previously and they said that it definitely is a private event. No tickets being sold -- no public allowed.
