Bosko has "Heart Burn" with Yoakam
"Dwight is not only my musical hero but an icon, from his music to his sense of style, and we both share Bakersfield roots," said Bosko. "I love that he effortlessly crosses genres, blending everything from country, Americana, rock and Latin influences, and it feels like we were able to capture that in this song."
Penned by Bosko and Chuck Cannon, with Yoakam in mind, and produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy, Katy Perry), "Heart Burn" is punctuated by baritone guitars.
Lyrics include:
You make my heart burn
You make my soul yearn
You make my bones ache
When you're gone they just might break
Inside of my chest
Kisses leave me helpless
Baby we make love so good it hurts
You make my heart burn
"When we wrote the second verse, I asked, 'What would Dwight Yoakam say?' I wanted it to sound dreamy and poetic, but with a western edge," Bosko said.
"Heart Burn" comes on the heels of Bosko's recently released duet with Vince Gill, "Higher Ground" and follows the release of her self-titled EP earlier this year, featuring five songs including current single "Neon Baby."

CD reviews
For his first album of original music since 2016, Dwight Yoakam does exactly nothing different, and thank goodness for that. One of country music's most consistent stylists, Yoakam's sound has always been a nod to the Bakersfield of Buck Owens, hardcore honky-tonk played by a swinging band, and he's not about to change this far into his career, it seems.
Analyzing his albums, then, boils down to which songs hit the spot best; they will all fill you up but some just taste better than others. ...
Annie Bosko starts out a little quiet on her five-song EP, but revs up to a rollicking ride down the "Honky Tonk Highway" to close it out. This project may represent a brief trip, but she sure makes for one fun travel partner.
Bosko is a fine singer that surrounds herself with undeniably country instrumentation. For instance, out front fiddle spars with the twangy electric guitar on the aforementioned "Honky Tonk Highway." It's a fun song that will sound fantastic on any road trip. ...
In this 1988 Austin City Limits program and nearing 32 years old, Dwight Yoakam was approaching his commercial zenith. His third album, "Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room," had just been released, bringing him his only number one country singles "Streets of Bakersfield" (included here in duet with Buck Owens along with Flaco Jimenez) and "I Sang Dixie," also included.
His second ACL appearance, Yoakam delivers a generous, 14-song reminder of how freakin' unusual ...
