Bucky Covington Is Everywhere!!!!

Rockingham, North Carolina native Bucky Covington recently signed a record deal with Lyric Street Records(the home to Rascal Flatts, Trent Tomlinson, Sarah Buxton, Josh Gracin, SheDaisy and more) With some help from Sawyer Brown frontman Mark Miller, Bucky is now on his way to superstardom. Mark's son was a Bucky fan during the fifth season of American Idol.
It seems Miller's son Gunner was walking around the Miller household saying, "Bucky this and Bucky that" . Intrigued, Mark tuned into the show and after Bucky was voted off, Miller put in a call to Bucky. The rest as they say is history. With Miller's connections, Bucky was soon on the tantilizing treadmill to Superstardom.
I think Bucky is perfect for country music right now. He's down home, nice as can be, very honest, and is as real as anybody will ever get. Humble is a great description as well.
His debut album is slated to come out about April 17th. The first single is called "Different World" It's a great tune for those of us who grew up with only three channels on the TV and no cell phones.
Check out the poll Country Weekly magazine did the week after season
five of American Idol wrapped up:
89 percent said I'm buying Bucky.
10 percent said I'm picking Pickler
1 percent said I'm all Idoled out
