It looks like Season 5 Idol alum, Bucky Covington IS signing with eOne records as we speculated in this post about Idol pitch sheet listings.  Bucky’s label is looking for new songs, but the question is, which label?  Bucky, in a recent interview with the Huntington Herald-Dispatch, appears to confirm eOne:

I’ve just signed up with a new record label. We have a new single coming across your radios in the next two or three months. The album another five, six months after that, of course, once the song releases.

Tell me about the new record label. – Well we haven’t exactly put out a press release on it yet. It’s a great company. It’s a great company that’s moved into Nashville. I’m the first country artist they’ve signed. I’m absolutely thrilled. The guy that’s heading it up, Van, is also from North Carolina like myself. So far, I’m also working with a lot of people who were on Lyric Street. Of course, when Lyric Street Records shut down, everybody goes a little somewhere and a lot of the folks have gone over to this company. So I’m looking very much forward to working with some of these folks again.

Van appears to be  Van Fletcher from eOne.  Expect a press release and announcement any day now. Congratulations Bucky! Hope your new label stays solvent! and confirms speculation I posted HERE.

    Congrats Bucky. I think eOne Nashville has other acts but they’re all more on the Americana/folk side of things. The fact that a bunch of people from Lyric Street are over there explains a lot about why Bucky would sign with them.

    It’s tough sledding for indie labels at radio but there’s actually a few having some success on the country charts. Broken Bow for instance has only had Jason Aldean for a while but recently had Thompson Square hit #1 and they’re trying to get something happening with James Wesley too with some success. There’s also Craig Campbell with Bigger Picture. Outside the t40 you’ve got Montgomery Gentry (and Josh Gracin) on Average Joe’s and Craig Morgan on Black River. It’ll be interesting seeing if eOne Nashville can join them. Bucky’s a few years removed from his t10/t15 hits but his single is kind of catchy.

    Congrats Bucky! He is not my cup of tea; but it really sucked that Lyric dissolved and it crashed his plans. Hoping this works for him.

    It’s nice to see that it looks like Bucky has a new label home. I hope he has much success there.
