One of the most genuine, likable, and purely talented idols ever (and certainly a favorite of mine) Bucky Covington has been in the news quite a bit lately. First of all, the release of his self-titled debut album will be out April 17. It’s a country cd and I think he’ll have a great deal of success in the genre – especially if he has the right music. Hopefully, he’ll do a great deal of Southern Rock. Not only is it what he does best, we need more of it on the radio.
If his personal life factors into his music, though, we may be in for some ballads. Bucky and his wife Crystal have split. He recently spoke about his marriage ending in an interview with People. He said they saw it coming.: “For the past two years we saw it coming. We stopped getting along and then you find yourself working on your relationship more than enjoying it.”
When asked what was on the album: “A good mix of country ballads, straight country and turn-it-up rock-country. One of my songs, “I’ll Walk,” brings the tears out of me. It’s about a girl who gets hit by a car, ends up in a wheelchair and when she’s about to get married she looks up at her father and says, “I’ll walk” down the aisle. There’s another song, “Back When We Were Gods,” about when you’re young and living in the moment.”
When asked what he most remembers about his Idol experience: “When I did ‘Superstition’ by Stevie Wonder, and Simon told me he liked my performance but that I had Jessica Simpson hair. The hairdressers asked me what I wanted. I just grown my hair, so I told them to knock it out. And they did – my hair was huge! So I’m walking around and asking the contestants, ‘Does this look a little much?’ And they’re all like, ‘No, it’s looks good.’ But they’re contestants, so that’s what they’re going to say!”
When asked if he keeps in contact with any of the other idols: “I’m friends with Kellie Pickler and Chris Daughtry. They’ve got the greatest sense of humor. Since the show we just hit it off. In my thank yous on my album I thank them individually.” (Chris also named Bucky in his Thanks on his amazing cd, Daughtry.)
And, finally, when asked about his favorite memory of Simon: “I walked outside one time and saw Simon get into this beautiful black Ferrari – we all know Simon is loaded. He gets into his car and you hear ‘Vrooooom.’ He burnt the clutch out of it. He cannot drive a five speed worth a flip! I, personally, am a fan of Simon, but with all that money get an automatic!”
Bucky, you’re my kind of people, dude.
Dont’ forget – on April 17th, everyone buy his cd. I’d LOVE for him to outsell Taylor Hicks!
