If Bucky Covington can sing, a pussy can pick cotton!

Terrible. How’d this guy make it American Idol? Baffles me that he got a record deal when there are so many talented people in Nashvile.

His inclusion on country radio confuses me almost as the record label that dared to sign the horrific Rodney Atkins.

There was some decent enough stuff on his debut. Mostly uptempo rockers and that sort of thing.

Yes. “It’s Good to be Us” suited him well. I think Bucky has a very raw, natural talent.

This is painful to listen to for sure. I liked the Nickelback recording, and I’ve enjoyed most of their music from the past decade. I was never a fan of Bucky Covington’s voice or his music anyway – but I don’t care if he came from American Idol, Nashville Star, or American’s Got Talent … I just don’t like his music. Period.

Well-written review. I agree totally.

I actually think he sounded pretty good on “It’s Good to Be Us”, but that’s the only one that’s worked for me at all.

Covington’s always been the kind of artist who shines with the right material …

When was that?

I don’t care how someone gets his start either. I just care about the talent. While I think Bucky has an alright voice (though it really does sound over processed in this song), I still take George Jone’s voice over Bucky’s. I’m very partial to the Possum though and his voice is meant to sound old; it almost always has.

I’m no less sympathetic to reality TV stars than I am to real artists, and I really don’t care if someone just fit in with a label’s marketing scheme or if they developed their own identity, by themselves. None of that matters to me. And I think Bucky’s voice is better than the voices of some “real artists,” (Id rather listen to Bucky’s voice in 2009 than George Jones’s 2009 voice) but I haven’t enjoyed his singles at all. I just couldn’t stomach “i’ll Walk” or “Different World.” This is a bit better than those, so I say Bucky is improving.
