Bucky Heard - My Best Days
Bucky Heard has been described as a singer who has “the soulful grittiness of Bob Seger and the soaring vocal range of Steve Perry.”
Heard’s music - and his artistry - are on full display in his upcoming album produced by legendary Nashville producer, Bob Bullock, whose production and engineering credits include Shania Twain, Reba, George Strait, Keith Urban, and REO Speedwagon, among many other artists. The project boasts country and rock influences that are skillfully woven into life by some of Nashville’s greatest session players, and brims with songs crafted by Heard and a host of Nashville’s top songwriters. It covers the full spectrum of moods and emotions that are at the heart of his bigger-than-life personality. From hard-driving rock and country songs that showcase his powerhouse vocal style, to mid-tempos that carry life-affirming messages, to delicate ballads that demonstrate the depth of his soulful vocal range, the album is a spot on snapshot of a man whose talent is only matched by his determination.
An Alabama native and Auburn University alumnus (BFA Theatre Performance), Heard has garnered critical praise in such publications as The Washington Post and USA Today. He has shared the concert stage with a constellation of superstars from multiple genres, including Glen Campbell, Michael McDonald, BB King, The Beach Boys (with Mike Love), The Temptations, Jonathan Cain (Journey), and many more.
After many years of experience performing in clubs, theatres and venues across America, Heard’s life was forever changed in 2016, when he was hand-picked by legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon, Bill Medley, to become his partner in the Righteous Brothers (“Unchained Melody,” “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”). Heard’s youthful energy has rekindled a new spark into the world-class Righteous Brothers, who are now on their farewell tour. Medley himself has been a strong supporter of Heard’s solo step into the limelight.
“I’m very excited about this next chapter of my music career,” states Heard. “I look forward to hitting the road and taking these songs to the fans this year!”
This song was written by Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member Kent Blazy (“If Tomorrow Never Comes,” and "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til The Sun Comes Up)" - Garth Brooks), and hitmaker Marv Green (“Amazed” - Lonestar), “My Best Days” is an anthem for our times. The track was produced by the legendary Bob Bullock (Shania Twain, Reba, George Strait, Keith Urban, and REO Speedwagon, among many others) at Curb Studios, Watershed, and Soundville Studios in Nashville. It features Heard on lead and background vocals, and an all-star backing band of Music Row A-list players including Eddy Bayers on drums, Michael Spriggs on acoustic guitar, Chris Leuzinger and Kenny Greenberg on electric guitars, Mike Brignardello on bass guitar, Jim Moose Brown on piano, synth and Hammond Organ, Sam Levine on saxophone, and Kim Keys, Vicki Hampton, Robert Bailey, Chris Rodriguez, and Joey Ritchie on background vocals.
