Quick News Link
2007-12-07 13:24:00 One quick link to an interesting news article in the Dallas Morning News and then I swear I am back on break.:) It was just too good. As most music fans know the Grammy nominations were announced yesterday. Amid some controversial nominations were a few notable absences in different categories (not just one we're partial to). Seems this reporter at the Dallas Morning News feels the same way. Speaking of the Best New Artist category --"Yet where's Daughtry, the former American Idol finalist who earned modern-rock cred and crossed over to pop with "It's Not Over," the huge single from his group's 3 million-selling debut CD? Sure, he has four nominations in lesser categories but he should have been named for best new artist, too. And for that matter, where's Bucky Covington, another Idol contestant who released the best country record from that franchise?" We agree. Shocker *heh* On Daughtry as well.... the band nabbed 4 nominations in other categories (congratulations and well d... More About: Link , Quick

The show is one of the tour stops for his Raisin' the Bar tour, which is co-headlined by Jason Michael Carroll with special guests Cole Deggs and the Lonesome.Dbrosch had this to say of Bucky's set and the new additions to his band, "The band sounded FANTASTIC! I was SO impressed with Caitlin's addition to the band. She was a huge piece they were missing. Her female background vocals added more than I can say to the songs. Rocky on percussion was a site to see as well. He is so happy to be able to dance and move and interact more than he was able to on the drums."It definitely sounds as if the new band is a hit and that Caitlin Evanson is a fan favorite.Bucky and CaitlinRocky and Bucky DuetBucky, Don and CaitlinA huge thank you to Lisa of Buckwild for findin...

Early Word from Nashville
2007-11-18 12:19:00 Just a mini post as we wait for Mediabase updates etc... These recap excerpts are from last night's Wildhorse Saloon show in Nashville (which had several Buckaneers in attendance) is by Bunny as dictated to Moon (thanks ladies!) "All band members are so personable, and you wouldn't know they had been only together for a week. The band was more full-bodied with the new additions, Caitlin did back-up vocals on all songs, especially Hometown, and on Empty-Handed, Caitlin did the 2nd verse 'Small town beauty queen' solo, at some point he joined in and they sang together before the instrumental. Rocky was on bongos on I'm Good, it sounded a bit more reggae, it was great! Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Rocky came out and sang with Bucky, he took the mic away, and he sang longer than he usually does on that song. Caitlin does the mandolin and viloin and what she does and where she does it is just perfect."All in all it sounds as if everyone had a fantastic evening both at the tailgate part...

One point of confusion the last few days has been exactly what kind of percussion Rocky Covington would now be playing. Seems he has quite the set up - "Rocky's set up is huge conga drums, cymbals, a small snare type drum, and chimes. It takes up as much space as the drummers set up. He looked happy and he was enjoying himself. "Deb also mentioned that Bucky and fiddle player Caitlin Evanson have "great chemistry". As well as doing "a lot of back up vocals" Caitlin sings the second verse of Empty Handed(I've heard her voice I am sure she sounded fantastic).Look back here later tonight for conference call info from the Wildhorse.Thanks Deb for the fantastic recap and photos!A Fan Blog supporting ...
