Shooter Jennings and Bucky Covington
Bucky Covington tapped Shooter Jennings for his new self-produced single “Drinking Side of Country,” and recruited Kellie Pickler for the video. Now at radio, it is the first music available from his Sept. 11 sophomore release Good Guys.
The up-tempo party song, written by Covington, twin brother Rocky Covington, and friend Donald Medlock, was first recorded after it was written in 2010. Covington wanted to add Shooter Jennings to the track so he waited to release it. “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 said.
Covington and Jennings recently shot a video for the song in Greensburg, KY. The video will feature appearances by Pickler, TNA Wrestler Mickie James, and Motocross Freestyler and X Games medalist Cowboy Kenny Bartram.
