Annie Bosko Rides High with Empowering New Single “California Cowgirl”

Review By Emiko Taylor

Annie Bosko is here to rewrite what it means to be country with her latest single “California Cowgirl”—a radiant, rootsy anthem that plants its flag firmly in both West Coast soul and Southern grit. Released via Stone Country Records ahead of her performance at Stagecoach later this month, the track is a bold declaration that country isn’t confined to geography—it’s a state of heart.

Produced by Trent Willmon and co-written with Jason Sellers, Terri Jo Box, and Lance Miller, “California Cowgirl” serves as the vibrant heartbeat of Bosko’s forthcoming debut album. With a spirited groove and lyrics that tip the hat to country legends like Dwight Yoakam and George Strait, Bosko blends classic twang with her signature West Coast sparkle. The result? A track that’s as sun-soaked as a Pacific highway and as grounded as a field of Tennessee wildflowers.

Bosko, a farmer’s daughter from California, infuses “California Cowgirl” with authenticity: “This song is my way of saying that country is more than a place, it’s a way of life.” And it shows. The track is a celebration of self-worth, resilience, and roots that run deeper than any map can chart.

Her voice—sweet as Tupelo honey, bold as a two-step under the stars—carries the song’s message with infectious charm. Riding high off the success of her Joe Nichols duet “Better Than You” and standout past collaborations with Vince Gill and Dwight Yoakam, Bosko’s trajectory is unmistakably upward.

Whether she’s lighting up the Grand Ole Opry or the Mane Stage at Stagecoach, Annie Bosko is proving that country music’s next big thing might just wear a Cali smile with a cowboy soul.

California may have beaches, but thanks to Bosko, it’s got barn boots too.
