Joe Nichols And Annie Bosko
Arkansas singing cowboy Joe Nichols is joined on his Nu Country return by Annie Bosko.
Nicholls, now aged 48, and Annie teamed for a soulful duet on their Better Than You video.
At 14 Annie sang on the soundtrack of Little Mermaid.
Better Than You was written by hit writers, Derek George and John Pierce and is on Joe’s 11th album Honky Tonks & Country Songs.
“I’ve been in a lot of honkytonks,” Nichols revealed.
“They’re the only places I could play for a long time, and you learn a lot about being an entertainer there, because people come wanting to hear a good song and have a good time. Country songs speak not just to those people, but to all people.”
The album features Doing Life With You, Bottle It Up, Helpless in a Honky Tonk, Hard Fires and a cover of Hank Williams Jr. classic A Country Boy Can Survive.
Joe previously fronted our show with his singing spouse Heather – mother of their three children – in their Home Run and Baby Got Back videos.
He has made three Australian tours including 2001 Melbourne Forum gig with Fawkner filly Jasmine Rae.
Annie released duets with Vince Gill on ballad Higher Ground and Dwight Yoakam on the Bakersfield-rooted Heart Burn.
