Bucky Covington's "A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)" got the splashy-trade-ad treatment in last week's Billboard Country Update; this week, it broke into the Top 30 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. (Click the photo to hear Bucky's latest hit at his official MySpace.)
You knew it, I knew it, and it looks as though a lot of country radio listeners know it, as well--Bucky Covington's "A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)" is an irresistible charmer of a song. It's been added to six new stations this week, and it's probably on your airwaves even as we speak. (If it isn't, check out our sidebar for a list of syndicated country radio shows and their request line info, or head to Bucky's official site for their good old station finder.)
Finding Bucky and his excellent band on a stage has never been easier...every summer since we started this blog way back in 2006 (yikes!), Bucky's been traveling and rocking crowds from coast to coast. Summer festival season is a blast, and while the semi-official kickoff of country music's summer fun is the CMA Fest in Nashville June 10-13--Bucky takes the stage at the Riverfront at about 2:15 pm on Friday the 11th--there are plenty of wild times ahead. And when we say "more new shows are being added all the time", we mean it--as I was writing this post, word came in that Bucky will be the musical guest at the opening ceremonies of the Commonwealth Games in Roanoke, VA on July 16th, according to WSET ABC-13. Seriously, y'all--bookmark Bucky's official site, and check the sidebar at Buckytown USA. You'll be glad you did...
We'll leave you with a bit of vintage video; in honor of Bucky's return to West Virginia this summer (he and his band perform at the WV Interstate Fair on July 17th), here's a fun rendition of "A Different World" from Bucky's stop at last year's WV State Fair. Many thanks to the very kind Shirley, who shared this on MySpace. Enjoy, and we'll see you soon!
