Music reviews of Bucky Covington
Music Review: No win on American Idol, but certainly a winner now!
Rating: 5 Stars
I didn't really think all that much about Bucky when he was on American Idol, but since I had bought other "runner-ups" CDs, (like Elliott Yamin, another winner after the fact) I decided to buy Bucky's CD used on Amazon.com. Was I ever impressed! This CD just blows me away everytime I listen to it. For one thing, I like every single song on there and it is done with a professionalism that makes it seem that Bucky Covington has been around and been a star for a long time. You can certainly tell that he worked his butt off between "Idol" and the release of this CD. Anyone who loves Country or Country Rock needs this CD in their collection. I remember long ago (yes, I'm that old) wearing out certain cassette tapes and then having to go buy a new one and as wild as it may seem, I might actually wear out a CD - Bucky's! It that possible?
Description of Bucky Covington
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
