Very quick coffee break news: more KJJY Bash shots, concert reminders and a chart check...

Rocky Covington and Bucky Covington greet the crowd at the KJJY Big Country Bash last Sunday; thanks to our friend Janie for this fun concert shot!

Bucky Covington and his band were a hit at KJJY's Big Country Bash on Sunday--and if you were there, your photos can be a hit on the station's gallery pages, too! They're looking for fan shots from the day's concerts, and so far, Bucky's camera-blessed fans have been representing beautifully. (There's even a "Back When We Were Gods" Tennessee moon photo, if you're into that sort of thing...) Huge thanks to all the fine photographers for contributing--the site's updates are ongoing, so bookmark KJJY and check again later for more...

If you'd like to enjoy the live fun for yourself, hop over to Buckytown USA's concert sidebar and Bucky Covington's official tour page for the summer concert news. Much of July and August will take Bucky and company out West, and that Buck Owens' Crystal Palace show in Bakersfield on July 9th sounds like a perfect getaway--a hotel right next door to the venue, a dinner-with-show option and the beautiful musical history of Bakersfield make this one well worth a mini-vacation. Get your seats online at Vallitix or call (661) 328-7560 to order by phone.

A quick chart check, courtesy of some very kind anonymous commenters (thanks!)--Bucky's "I Want My Life Back" [hear Bucky Covington's new single at his MySpace] is still gracing the Mediabase published chart at #31 as of this morning. However, the bullet beside it could do with some love! The plumper, the better, y'all, especially with that Top 30 prize at stake--feel free to pick up that phone and ask your local lunchtime/drivetime country DJ to play Bucky's lastest for your ride home. Another commenter left good news about Bucky's place on this week's USA Today Idol Chatter all-Idol airplay chart, compiled by Brian Mansfield; "I Want My Life Back" moved up seven spots to #16.

(Thanks for bearing with our storm issues today! Have a safe trip home, and we'll see you soon--Winnie)
