Critics at the Dallas Morning News and the Miami Herald have named Bucky Covington’s self-titled debut as a favorite country release for 2007. The CD opened at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart in April 2007.
Howard Cohen of the Miami Herald selects Bucky’s self-titled debut as one of only four country CDs in the publication’s Top 100 Notable Happenings in 2007, calling it “the most heartfelt, honest CD to come out of the American Idol factory.” Bucky Covington made the top 10 for Mario Tarradell’s list of Top Country Discs for 2007 in the Dallas Morning News, calling it a “worthy, honest, workingman’s country-by-way-of-Southern-rock CD.”
Bucky also wrapped the year as Country Aircheck’s #1 New Artist for 2007 based on the strength of his top 5 first single “A Different World” and his current hit, “It’s Good To Be Us.” Cumulatively, both singles earned more than 643 million audience impressions in 2007.
Bucky Covington’s self-titled CD released in April 2007 and opened at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. With sales of 61,000 units in the first week of release, Bucky is not only 2007’s biggest unit debut from a new country artist, but also the best first week sales and highest Top 200 debut for any new male country artist since Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992. Bucky is scheduled to tour with Trace Adkins early this year and, later, with Dierks Bentley for the singer’s “Throttle Wide Open” tour.
A Bucky and Dierks tour sounds exciting! Both are very nice and talented guys and hopefully Bucky will have a very successful country career!
