Two requests for two great shots; Bucky Covington gazes out at the crowd in Verona, NY (top) and shares a laugh with Rocky Covington (scroll down) in these photos by the very kind Janie. You can enjoy more of her beautiful concert images here. Thanks, Janie! Bucky's debut CD is in stores now, and his music video is available for online viewing at CMT.com and Yahoo Music. You can buy Bucky's album at Amazon, Best Buy , iTunes, WalMart Music and Target, hear the full version of his single "A Different World" at CMT and GAC, or enjoy samples of songs from the CD at Bucky's official MySpace. An autographed copy of Bucky Covington can be ordered while supplies last at his official site or via his official fan club.
Looking for some extra audio goodness today? Stop in at the
Country Countdown USA site, where Bucky Covington and host Lon Helton are the smiling pair in the main photo. You'll find lots of fun audio clips from Bucky's guest hosting spot this weekend, available for download. Enjoy! (If you'd like to hear the whole show, check out the on-site
station finder, or head over to
Radiotime for a list of stations carrying Country Countdown USA.)
And while we're discussing media, here's a reminder about this weekend's
CMT Insider--Bucky's visit with the talented young performers at Idol Camp was the subject of a truly endearing segment, and
you can catch the list of rerun showtimes at CMT.com.
Bucky's Idol Camp gig was also a part of this week's print issue of
US Magazine--look for him on page 10 of the August 20th edition, on newsstands now. The story is illustrated with a drop-dead adorable photo of some
very delighted campers watching Bucky sing and perform. If you'd like a sneak peek at the story,

Buckyflowers, or head to the
Bucky Truck Stop at Rawkhands, where
Sunscreen and company have added lots of great updates you're going to
love...
Last night's concert at the posh State Theatre in State College was a
blast, by all accounts! There will probably be quite a few concert recaps by satisfied fans popping up online as the days roll on; a friend who was there reported that Bucky added Sawyer Brown's "Thank God for You" to the set, and it got a terrific reception. (
Kathy at
Team Covington mentioned this song as well, so it looks like future audiences have a new musical treat to look forward to.) Our friend also made a note of
Rocky's charming turn as a cheerleader of sorts--the chants of "Bucky! Bucky!" leading up to the encore
somehow got morphed into chants of "Rocky, Rocky!" along the way...
Yep, sounds like an awesome time was had by all! If you're in the Northeast, you've got a chance to catch Bucky, Don, Shaun, Rocky and Hans at the
Bottle and Cork in Dewey Beach, Delaware tonight--this is a 21-and-over show, and tickets are available at
Ticketmaster or at the door. Have fun! Bookmark the handy
tour schedule at Bucky's official site, and you'll be ready to add some live Bucky Covington excitement to
your late summer schedule, too.
Today's charts look a bit like yesterday's--"A Different World"is
#6 on the Mediabase
weighted and
Top 500 rankings, with small negative numbers on both. We've been here before, y'all--we know what to do.
Keep requesting "A Different World" at your favorite local and streaming country stations--even with the temporarily missing bullets, the wide open spaces a few spots upward are
well worth aiming for! (Hey, the cost is clear, there's room at the top, and a phone call to your local country station is absolutely
free...) And while we're in voting and requesting mode, a good word for Bucky's beautiful video is always in fashion at GAC's
Top Twenty Country Countdown and CMT's
Top Twenty Countdown.
We'll close for now with a link to an excellent profile of Bucky in the State College, PA
Centre Daily; and if you're curious about what the folks at the UK-based Coquet-Shack site think of Bucky's pick for his next single,
hop right over here and see...
More soon--have a great Sunday!
