Country music star Bucky Covington recently got the chance to take a seat in the producer’s chair when he went into the studio with Shooter Jennings to record the duet “Drinking Side Of Country.” The new single, available on Bucky’s upcoming sophomore album GOOD GUYS, due out September 11th, is an up-tempo party song written by Bucky with his twin brother Rocky Covington and lifelong friend Donald Medlock. The song delivers today to country radio via PlayMPE for immediate airplay.
“Getting to produce your own music rocks, but being able to say you produced Shooter Jennings just takes it to a whole other level.“ Covington remarked, “I am very proud of this song and can’t wait to share it with my fans!”
Bucky first recorded the song shortly after writing it in 2010 but thought it needed something extra… his friend and fellow musician Shooter Jennings. Covington and Jennings just shot the rowdy video for “Drinking Side Of Country” earlier this month in the tiny town of Greensburg, KY and the clip will be released in the coming weeks. The video is jam-packed with action including police chases, parties, and celebrity appearances by his friends Kellie Pickler, TNA Wrestler Mickie James, and Motocross Freestyler and X Games medalist Cowboy Kenny Bartram.
