Weekly Post (Monday, November 9, 2009)

Thanks to Happydays for sending us our two fine photos from the Saturday show in Biloxi, Mississippi. She has more here.


Tour Talk: Bucky has a busy schedule this week with tour stops as he goes almost coast to coast. *** Tuesday, November 10th, is a stop in Jacksonville, Florida at the Jacksonville Fair. *** Thursday the 12th, Bucky Covington will appear with Chris Young at Toby Keith's Bar and Grill in Phoenix, Arizona. ***Saturday the boys of the Awesome Band will join him in West Palm Beach, Florida for the WIRK FallFest. ***And who knows, we might see him Nashville Wednesday night at the CMA Awards. He is not a performer or presenter but who knows, he might pop in just cause!


Chart Chat: Bucky Covington's latest single, "Gotta Be Somebody" is at # 52 today on the Mediabase Published Chart up one from last week. Request, request, request. The video debuted Friday night at NUMBER ONE on CMT's Pure Country 12 Pack and you can help keep it there by voting daily. (Lots). GBS could very well be a voting choice on the regular CMT's Top 20 this week and voting there is extremely important also as more people get that channel. We didn't see GBS on GAC's Top 20 yet but hopefully it will be on there soon!



Around The Web: Bucky and Rocky turned 32 yesterday and we just wanted to join the world wishing them the happiest year yet! ***Diver has some superb photos from Biloxi on her photobucket. The second photo is a marvelous birthday cake made by the multi-talented MoonDancer who sent it to the boys via FLKathy to deliver to Diver who delivered it to the boys just in time for their birthday NOVEMBER 8th. The recaps and even more photos should be popping up on Bucky's Official Site soon!. *** Winnie is back and we should see more Bucky news from Buckymania, later on today. Bucky's ILIKE and his MySpace are fun places to visit if you have not been there lately. Steve Cook's Shiny Bass Journal may be up later on today. Thanks to Robin/BuckyWild for our great request banner today! And as always, thanks for reading! ~ Fran & Renee~

Flash Post (Saturday, November 7, 2009)

Thanks to Ms. Minnie for this stunning and intense photo of Bucky Covington from Merced, California, this summer. Smokin'!


It's OFFICIAL - Bucky Covington's lastest video, filmed in his hometown of Rockingham, NC, debuted at # 1 last night on CMT PURE 12 Pack. As one person emailed us, "It was great to finally see it up on the big screen with surround sound since my eyes were bonkers from watching it on the computer." Voting for next week has already started and on Monday at 11 ET, "Gotta Be Somebody" could be a choice on the CMT Top 20 poll.

*** Jonalee White has a blog and reviews Bucky's latest video. Thanks for the kind words, Jonalee!

Have a great weekend and keep on requesting! ~ Fran & Renee

Thanks to Tammy who was at the Tractor Supply last week and has 38 fun photos of Bucky Covington on her My Space. Here are our two favs !


Tour Talk: Bucky Covington has two shows this week. First, there is an acoustic show on Wednesday, November 4th in Rochester, New York, sponsored by WBEE . Saturday he travels to Biloxi, Mississippi, where he will appear at the IP Casino as the opener for Daryl Worley. Tickets here. Next week, Bucky will be in Jacksonville, Florida,, on Tuesday, November 10th at the Jacksonville Fair, Bucky could pop up on your TV screen in the audience of the CMA award (ABC 8-11 ET), Thursday, the 12th he will be at a KNIX event in Phoenix, Arizona but no information is on the KNIX website yet and next Saturday, November 14th, it looks like the full band will be at the WIRK FallFest in West Palm Beach, Florida. (phew!)


Vote, Vote, Vote: CMT Pure 12 Pack (multiple votes allowed & Bucky is on this one this week), Best New Video, Check CMT Top 20 and GAC Top 20 just in case Bucky is there this week. And, stream the video (the BCO site links back to CMT so you can just hit replay and it counts) The links on the right sidebar now take you directly to the respective voting page on CMT, CMTPure and GAC but feel free to click on home when you are done with a round of voting and search for Bucky by inserting his name in the search bar. He gets brownie points for how many times he is searched. For some reason, we couldn't get the Power Pick Episodes to pop up but here is the link just in case the video is on it today at 11:00 a.m. ET.


Around The Web: *** LakeGirl824 captured the only video we have seen of the just added set addition of "Use Somebody" from the Tractor Supply show last week. *** She also has a rare (and superb) acoustic version of "Gotta Be Somebody" in case you missed it on Buckymania yesterday and "It's Good to Be Us" too! *** Speaking of Buckymania, Winnie keeps us posted on all the latest daily Bucky news so check it out HERE. *** Shiny Bass (Steve Cook) gave us two entries into his wonderful journal last week but here's hoping we get another one today as Monday is normally his post day.
