Nashville, TN…(July 16, 2012)…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 ( INTERVIEW SHOOTER JENNINGS / Personal Message from 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.
