Free Music Notes for Bucky Covington
Free Music Review: It's All Good
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD goes to show that America got some of it really, really, wrong last year and some of it right. There were MANY great American Idol Season 5 contestants who would have walked all over this year's JV field.
American Idol/19's high production values, and aptly adept music & lyrics give AI 5's Bucky a well-deserved blast-off. This Soul Patroler/reviewer thought the debut efforts of Taylor Hicks, Elliott Yamin and Daughtry would grow on me - as yet they haven't. Kellie's Small Town Girl has its songs and its moments, * but Bucky's is all good at Go, an instantaneous meld with me - with its touches of Tim McGraw, Jimmy Buffet, John Cougar Mellencamp, and Springsteen - yet all Bucky. Even though I could hear it coming, I cried and got goosebumps on "I'll Walk."
This is clearly the best of the AI5 CDs - Heck - it's one of the best new CDs I've heard this year, at all at all, on par with Carrie's award winning Some Hearts. /TundraVsion, Amazon Reviewer

Bucky Covington Poster
Bucky Covington was a finalist in the 5th season of American Idol, where he went on to win the heartsof the American public, finishing 8th on the show. Originally from Rockingham, North Carolina, Bucky's long journey to national attention began where he and his identical twin Rocky were born. Drawn early to country music, Covington was a fan of Tim McGraw, George Strait, and Travis Tritt, among others. After getting his first guitar at age 19, he claimed local fame with the country/southern rock cover band Southern Thunder. He says his style of music is "country, with as much rock in it as I can get away with."The fifth-season American Idol finalist has a Nashville record deal, and his talents have traction. Bucky Covington's gravel-rough, expressive voice is sufficiently flexible to handle a wide spectrum of material. His flair for a light touch comes through on the Mark Nesler/Marty Dodson tune "I'm Good" and the pleasant "A Different World." Regrettably, he often has a tough row to hoe, since in the case of material and arrangements, producer Mark Miller (of Sawyer Brown fame) has simply thrown him onto Music Row's insidious studio assembly line. Covington gamely pours his heart into a sheaf of predictable songs, from the sentimental bathos of "I'll Walk" to "The Bible and the Belt" and "Back When We Were Gods," the types of generic heartland tunes sung so often by so many in the past decade that they no longer feel fresh or compelling. Musically, Miller wraps Covington in a sterile, studio version of Travis Tritt-style southern rock that robs him of any sort of distinctive style. American Idol is a difficult road, even for the Carrie Underwoods who ultimately come out on top. One who got as close as Covington did, with his potential, deserves better. --Rich Kienzle
