Why We Rated This on for Ages 12 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    "Nice guy" sentimentality abounds.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Repeated, unsettling references to "Daddy's belt."

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    One mention of Cadillac.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Nothing terrible: "We were born to mothers who smoked and drank."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Bucky Covington

Parents need to know that this American Idol finalist's first CD contains nothing offensive -- unless you are offended by cloying country sentimentality. Cynics will have trouble making it all the way through "I'll Walk," a song about a girl crippled in an accident, and "The Bible and the Belt's" celebration of corporal punishment.
