Bucky Covington dishes out new single
Monday, March 1, 2010 – Bucky Covington returns with a new single today, A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How).
Covington will give people.com an exclusive first listen to the song about a father who shows his children his love for them by "taking care of all the little things in life," according to his publicist. Written by Liz Hengber, Thom Shepherd and Steve Williams, the track is from his upcoming sophomore album, "I'm Alright," due this fall.
"We were basically done with the new CD when this song came across the desk ... the minute I heard it I knew that I had to cut it," he said. "It reminds me of my dad when I was growing up, and I think many people will relate to it too."

Last fall, singer/songwriter Steve Forbert dropped the 14th studio album of his 35-year career, the impeccable "Over With You." Critics recognized the album as a return to the form Forbert displayed on his earliest works - 1978's stripped back and personal "Alive on Arrival" and 1979's more lushly produced and commercially accessible "Jackrabbit Slim" - but the fact is that Forbert has never strayed far from their basic folk/rock tenets.... »»»
