Chart news: "It's Good to Be Us" graces the #16 spot on the Mediabase weighted chart this morning, and stands at #15 on the Top 500 . Yep, there's a respected member of country music royalty poised to do a pole vault on the latter chart, but even with that in mind, we've got some sweet momentum going. Keep requesting, everyone! The evening syndicated country radio shows and all our local DJs are are more likely than ever to play Bucky's tune--at this point, it's got proven staying power and a steady upward climb. (Always more fun to request a genuine hit, isn't it?)
Bucky and Rocky in Kentucky: this great Covington Brothers duet shot was taken at Fergie's in Lebanon KYby the very kind Buckybaby. Click here to see more of her images from the show. Thanks again, Buckybaby!Upcoming shows: We'll be checking for more of those "not yet on the schedule" dates; it looks like another very busy summer is ahead for Bucky and the band. (This is officially unconfirmed, but this the council in Charleston, Illinois is studying the possibility of having Bucky perform at the Red White & Blue Days festival on July 3rd--fingers crossed for all his fans in the area...)
