While listening to the radio the other day they played a new song by a newcomer to country music. The song was A Different World and the artist was Bucky Covington.

Bucky was a finalist in season 5 of American Idol and to be honest, I didn’t think he was that great. His voice seemed no where near the quality of most other contestant yet he made it to the top 12 and now has a record contract with Lyric Street Records.

A Different World is a song about how life was different back when we were kids. No seatbelt in cars, no video games and no unleaded paint. I think it’s a decent song, but nothing great. I also think Bucky’s voice is a bit more polished in the song. But then again, they can re-master anything in a sound studio.

You can listen to A Different World for free (and possibly download) here and at Bucky’s MySpace page.

The MySpace page also has American Friday Night, I’m Good and Empty Handed to listen to. Some of which might be decent songs.

If you can’t wait for more Bucky Covington, the entire album will be released April 17th 2007 so hold on tight.
