Over the last year Bucky has been working closely with Help The Good Guys and the IAFF Charitable Foundation to provide financial relief to injured fire fighters and their families, hosting benefit events, visiting burn centers and burn camps and making donations from his music and merchandise sales. A special IAFF version of the GOOD GUYS album, featuring bonus tracks “Evil Knievel” and “Ole Kentuck,” can be ordered HERE for a limited time.
Produced by Mark Miller and Dale Oliver and releasing on Bucky’s new label home eOne Music, GOOD GUYS features 12 tracks including “I Wanna Be That Feeling” and raucous, sing-along Shooter Jennings duet “Drinking Side Of Country,” which Covington co-wrote and co-produced. The music video for the latter had an epic debut, amassing over 2 million views and counting. The staggering stats made the clip #1 on YouTube’s “Popular Around The Web” music chart and one of the Top Trending Videos overall. The neo-outlaw action video, which depicts Bucky and Shooter stirring up trouble in a tiny town, features cameo appearances by country star Kellie Pickler, X Games medalist Kenny Bartram and TNA wrestler Mickie James and can be seen HERE.
