Bucky Covington
“Bucky Covington”
(Lyric Street Records)
When North Carolina native Bucky Covington made became a Top 10 finalist on “American Idol” last year, little did anyone know that the following year he’d become an idol of in his own right in the country music world scoring a number one debut album and a hit song, “A Different World.” I mean, this guy just screams “Americana.”
Why do I say that? Listen to the stomping country-rocker “American Friday Night” and tell me I’m wrong.
Hot rods, prom night, going off to college, getting shipped off to war, learning to respect your elders or missing a girl so bad it hurts. These and many other slice of life themes, already covered by Springsteen, Mellencamp and a score of other country artists and roots rockers, pepper this very appealing debut from the former “Idol” contestant.
If this album is any indication, I’d say Bucky Covington has a solid career ahead of him.
