Bucky Covington’s album came out today and I got to listen to the whole thing through clearchannelmusic.com. I was shocked and amazed. He sounded REALLY good on there. Not all the songs were great songs but he has a fantastic recording voice. His voice reminded me of a George Strait, maybe Tim McGraw-ish shound but it’s very distinct. It has this raw, authentic country sound that I think country fans will appreciate. He may not have proven to be the best performer/dancer on American Idol but I think he should get some good radio hits out of this one. Really impressed. Maybe because my expectations weren’t high, I’m not sure, but it’s worth checking out.
