Good Guys represents the sophomore studio release from American country music performer Bucky Covington, which was made available on September 11, 2012, through E1 Music. This collection includes tracks like "I Want My Life Back", a rendition of Nickelback's "Gotta Be Somebody", and "A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)", the latter initially issued by the now-defunct Lyric Street Records during 2009–2010. E1 Music selected "I Wanna Be That Feeling" as the primary single, later promoting "Drinking Side of Country."
Critical reception
Tammy Ragusa from Country Weekly awarded the album four stars out of five, praising Covington's natural delivery throughout the songs. Conversely, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic assigned a 2.5-star rating, pointing out its somewhat "awkward country-pop efforts." Roughstock's Matt Bjorke gave the album three stars, commending Covington's heartfelt vocal performance and charismatic presence evident across the record.
