Country music artist Annie Bosko, with roots in California’s Central Valley, has released her debut studio album, California Cowgirl. The 19-track album chronicles her personal experiences and artistic growth.

California Cowgirl: A Musical Diary

Bosko’s album serves as a musical diary, with songs reflecting her life and observations. A standout track, “Goodbye California,” was co-written with Kid Rock and explores the changes Bosko has witnessed in her home state.

Collaboration with Kid Rock

Bosko initially hesitated to reveal her collaboration with Kid Rock, fearing potential backlash. She emphasized that the collaboration was purely musical, focused on the quality of the work rather than political alignment.

Kid Rock suggested reframing the song as a ballad about a lost love, personifying California as a former partner. This shift broadened the song’s emotional resonance, focusing on themes of nostalgia and loss.

Upcoming Performances & Dolly Parton

Annie Bosko is preparing for a series of performances across the United States. She will join Parker McCollum on tour in August, with stops in Huntington, West Virginia; Simpsonville, South Carolina; and Huntsville, Alabama.

Opening for Dolly Parton

In September, Bosko will have the opportunity to open for Dolly Parton at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on September 23rd, as part of Parton’s residency. Bosko described herself as “absolutely thrilled” by the opportunity.

She recognizes Parton as an icon who transcends genres and political divides, expressing gratitude for the vote of confidence in her abilities as a songwriter and performer.
