Bucky Covington song poll results, "Gotta Be Somebody" goes Top Ten at GAC, conference call from Indy tonight, and more...

Bucky Covington's "Mexicoma", acoustic-style--this sunny video was taken at the KHEY New Country Showcase in El Paso last summer by the very kind cindyenchant. Read on for the final results of our winter song survey, and click here to find out when Bucky and company will be bringing some tropical delight your way...

Bucky Covington's concert tonight at the 8 Seconds Saloon in Indianapolis begins in just a few short hours, and we're hearing that last-minute tickets will be sold at the door--be there if you can! Those who are too far away can join the party via conference call, courtesy of Hildi and her helpers. The call will happen at about 8 pm local time; if you're a member of Bucky's official fan club, check the forum tonight for the exact time to call in. (Updated: the call is over, and word has it that the show was a blast. Thanks to Hildi and company!)

A little more sunshine: Steve Cook and Bucky Covington rock the stage in Des Moines in this photo by the very talented Judy Lang--much appreciated!

Speaking of fun, how about some good news from this week's GAC Top 20 Country Countdown? Bucky's bright and beautiful video for "Gotta Be Somebody" took a sweet leap from #12 last week to #8 this week--a round of applause for Bucky, his excellent and photogenic band, director Devin Pense and for all who voted! We've gotten it into the Top Ten at GAC...can we get it all the way to #1? We're taking aim--join in with a daily vote at GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown and multiple votes at CMT's Pure 12-Pack, and be sure to pass those links along to as many country-loving friends as you can. (Thanks to Janie for the chart update.)

Last but definitely not least, our "which of Bucky's new songs would sound best on the radio" survey ended today. There was a virtual tie until the last day and a half, but the sun-and-sand anthem "Mexicoma" surged ahead to win the poll, followed by the slow-and-sexy "Hold a Woman". (We think they'd both sound awesome on the radio--tough choice between two potential hits!) Here are the full results:

Mexicoma: 45 votes (52%)
Hold a Woman: 23 votes (27%)
Evel Knievel: 9 votes (10%)
Giants: 4 votes (4%)
Lamp Post: 4 votes (4%)
Other: 0 (0%)

Whether it's a past hit or a future chartbuster, Bucky sounds good on the radio any time--give your local country station's request line a call, or use the contact info at left to get in touch with your favorite syndicated star. Have a great American Friday Night, everyone!
