Bucky Covington's "Hometown" hits the charts (via Buckytown, with thanks)



Bucky Covington performed "Hometown" in his new hometown of Nashville a while back--thanks again to the very kind for sharing this sweet video memory.

Huge news from our friends at the Buckytown USA blog today--Bucky Covington's soulful "Hometown" (from his first album, Bucky Covington), has hit the Music Row Country Breakout Chart! It's currently #78 after two weeks on the chart, up from #82 last week, and Fran reports that many smaller-market stations are on board. (Perhaps your local country station is among them? Why not give their request line a call and see...)



Fran's also got news from Happydays about Beau and Rocky's recent health woes (get better soon!) and an update on the newly-added 3/11 Olney, IL show at The Holiday. Bucky and his band's next concert stop is happening tonight, Saturday the 26th, when they'll play KP's Music Rodeo (1276 State Route 183, Troy, TN 38260) with Stormy Montana. Hope you'll be there! More soon--W

  2. Sorry I missed you, Anon! I've been getting over the flu. :( The song is a track from Bucky's debut album on Lyric Street, so the label for this one would be...well, hmm. That screencap from the Music Row chart doesn't say! All I know for sure is that there have been cases of a song getting lots of radio time even after a label is no more...especially if the local listeners seem to dig it.

    (Ahem. My request nagging skills are rusty, but give 'em time... ;)
