I also lead worship at my local church. Hope you enjoy my music, and if you do, please consider following me on Facebook at Anna Elizabeth Wescoat, and check out my website annawescoatmusic.com ! :)
Daddy's Radio by Anna E. Wescoat
This song is dedicated to country legend, Dottie West, and all victims of child abuse. Dottie West was an incredible woman. What many don't know about her is that she had a very traumatic childhood-- she suffered years of sexual abuse at the hands of her father, resulting in a miscarriage at age 15. When she was 17, and her father threatened to move her north with him, far away from Tennessee, she had an emotional breakdown and told her teachers at school all about what she had been through; thankfully, her father was finallyput in prison. A few years later she married steel guitar player Bill West, and they traveled to Nashville every weekend to help her make connections in the industry. As talented as she was, she was repeatedly turned down by record label after record label. But she never gave up, she persisted and worked her butt off-- and at the right time, with the right people around her, (Chet Atkins and Jim Reeves to name a few) it paid off in the end. This song doesn't do her strength justice, but I hope it encourages someone in some way.
This is just an acoustic recording, but I'm thinking about releasing it. Let me know your thoughts on it in the comments! :)

This is a folksy tune I wrote with my friend Ralston Wells up in Nashville. As the title suggests, it's about the fact that oftentimes opposites attract. What's more, they often bring out the best in each other, which is the case with my hubby and I. Hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please hit subscribe and follow me on social media for more music! 😁🎵

I posted a clip of me singing the chorus of this on my social media recently, and my buddies @ohanlonbill and @nancydeckant helped me finish writing it. l was so excited I got straight to work on the demo track. I played all the instruments you hear, though yes, I know I'm typically known for country music lol so don't stress, I'm not crossing over 🤣 I'll let @bonnieraittofficial take this one ...
All You Can Take by Anna E. Wescoat

Wrote this one New Years Eve 2023, using one of my favorite quotes from my all time favorite movie, "It's a wonderful life". George Bailey's Dad had this quote hanging in his office: "All you can take with you is that which you've given away", which Mr. Bailey exemplified through how he lived and ran his business. George eventually learned what it meant as well, and I thought it was too importa...
You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive, LIVE COVER, by Anna Wescoat and her Country Band

This was one of the songs we played at my Queens of Country concert in Tallahassee, at the House of Music. I'm a huge Patty Loveless fan, and I know she didn't write the song, but in my humble opinion she sang it best!

LIVE Looping Cover of Cow/Calf Blue Yodel by Colter Wall

YES, this is all done live, including the drums and harmonies using a Boss RC 300 looping pedal. I have a LOT of fun with it if you can't tell!! Sometimes I'll add even more instruments, just depends on the show/style of music I'm doing. The song is my take on "cow calf blue yodel" by one of my favorites in the country music biz, Mr. @colterwall 🤠

My tribute to one of the greatest musicians of my time, the one and only, Jimmy Buffett. He wrote this song after hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, and it's always been so beautiful to me. Hope y'all enjoy my take on it, and if you do please like and subscribe! 🙏🎶

5 years ago today, a dear friend and mentor, Mr. Don Jones, left this world behind. This guitar was one of two that he gifted me. His friendship and sweet spirit will never be forgotten, I love and miss him and hope this song blesses you if you're missing someone too! 🙏🎶

Everybody Loves You by Anna E. Wescoat
zhlédnutí 222Před 11 měsíci
Last weekend, I heard of a tragedy that unfortunately has become far too common. Three children were murdered by the one person(s) they should be able to trust most in this world, their parents, and it broke my momma heart. So I sat down to write what I would say to them if I were able, and it would be to simply let them know: this is not how God intended the world to be, and I promise there is...

We Don't Even Try by Anna E. Wescoat
zhlédnutí 239Před rokem
Got a new song for y'all!! This one started out as something entirely different than how it ended up, and I'm so glad it took on a life of its own and turned into this! My goal with my music has always been to "sing something that means something" and I believe this hits that mark. Sometimes we are far too afraid of failure... The truth is, we often learn much more from our failures than we do ...
I should hate you by Anna E. Wescoat
zhlédnutí 291Před rokem
Went back to my folk roots for this one! This song was inspired by one of my favorite writers, Sean of the South, and his amazing story of perseverance through pain and tragedy. He overcame so many obstacles and fulfilled his dreams, and this song is dedicated to him. Even though sometimes we have every "right" to hate someone, in reality, it doesn't do us any good; it just holds us back, and k...

She just sounds super...it is great to hear a young gall honor such a legend as John Prine....
@@jonbeckleymorrisblues thank you so much, I appreciate that! 🙏
Amazing and beautiful, thanks for sharing.
@@sawmill9392 thank you so much! 🙏
Anna, I've been on the hurting side of pain a few times, and it don't feel none too good. I wrote this ditty back in November of 1994, and it's a true story. It was Thanksgiving Day when you walked away, and I've been thankful from then on. 'Cause your memory keeps reminding me, that I should be thankful that you're gone ! Now everyday is Thanksgiving Day baby since you walked away, and I don't need no turkey - and dressing to celebrate. Yeah, and I don't need no pumpkin pie, no season for my reason why, 'Cause baby everyday is Thanksgiving Day since you walked away. Yeah and all I need is your memory, to keep reminding me, that my life is a better place since you walked away. Well it just might be Christmas time, New Years or even Valentines, but baby everyday is Thanksgiving Day since you walked away. Yeah everyday is Thanksgiving Day- baby - since you walked away ! Anna, you have got the gift and you write from the heart, and that's a huge place for one to be. Here's a song idea that I've never gotten around to writing and I'm too old now. Maybe you or someone else might give it a try. NO Booze Is Good News, When I Hear From You.
Do you have tutorials on your fingerpicking style please Anna.
Thank you Anna, beautiful voice and fingerpicking style. True country. Im hooked.
@@liscarlson2099 thank you so much! Really appreciate that 🙏
I like the sound of your voice, and the guitar blends so well.... Good luck Ma'am. ...how to hear more from you.
Thank you so much! Plenty more where this came from 😄
You did a fantastic job . I normally don't listen to other people sing Loretta's songs but you did great.
I appreciate that so much! 🙏 She was one of my heroes, I sing at least one of her songs at every show ❤️
A wonderful woman,a great song,i be fall in love.This is so great...
and a woderful woman
You be the best....
You be the best.
You be the best!!!!
You be the best and a wonderful woman,great music. Is very super.
A great cover from a great song. You be so great....
Great Song singing by You
Thank you so much! 🙏
A great original and one of the best vocals that I've ever heard. There are many ways to say I need you, and some without even saying it. Better than 20 years ago, I challenged myself to write from a woman's point of view, and that's not an easy thing for a man to do, and this is what happened. Girls, I think I hurt my man last night. I know I sure hurt me. And it was all because I couldn't see, his love was staring me in my feet. You see, I work hard outside our home, and believe me so does he. When he gets in it's so really late, that by then most men have gone to sleep. But he picks me up and lays me down and begins to adore my feet. He caresses them, gives life to them, oh what sweet ecstasy. That I was lost in bliss and as he kissed, I asked " Baby, have you got a thing for my feet ? " He looked up in surprise and with a frown in his eyes, this is what he said to me. " I love you more than anything and no, don't have a thing for your feet. I simply treat them right every night, so they will keep bringing you - back to me. "
@@user-pm5sf2wq3x that is a lovely poem! And thank you for the kind words , 🙏☺️
Great job! Beautiful voice and guitar playing.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Pretty yodeling❤
Thank you so much!
yep thats good
Thank you so much! 🙏
Your original deserves such a great response. Nothing says it better than a few chords and the truth. Here's my testimony. When I was a baby, I used to cry a lot. My mama tried a thousand things, but only one would make me stop. She would wrap me in her arms and slowly begin to rock. OH, I don't know what was in that bottle, but it really hit the spot ! And I've been hooked on the bottle, since the day that I was born. I had my very first drink, in my dear Mother's arms. And if drinking is what's killing me, then I'll soon buy the farm. 'Cause I've been hooked on the bottle, since the day that I was born ! A lot of John Prines' humor rubbed off onto me.
Aww thanks so much!! That's a great poem, should set that to music ;) lol I'll be releasing this song as a single very soon! Some buddies in Nashville did the recording and it sounds great 🙏
@@annawescoat2588 Congratulations on releasing your original as a single ! I didn't know that they still appreciate real country on music row and at ASCAP and BMI ! lol. It's nice exchanging words with someone that loves country music. Actually, " Hooked On The Bottle " is one of a few drinking songs that I have written. Do you like no longer drinking songs ? I got a good one. If you would like to read the lyrics, I still remember them ! I sure like your vocals and the way you handle that guit-fiddle.
Beautifully performed. John would be proud!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that! 🙏
you inspired me to work on this piece to perform today...
@@briandurkin8582 how awesome!! Rock on!!
Should the title be Dottie's Daddy's Radio?
Beautiful voice and a lovely song. We keep your songs in our random play-back mix. You keep popping up unexpectedly. Nothing but smiles when you do. Great Job Anna.. Kelly, Gilbert, AZ

You be the Best!!!!!
Super.
You be the greates musican and for me the greatest woman.
She is the greatest.
She is the Best and fior me the greatest Woman.
Wow. It's got hook and traction. Deep (not cheap) lyrics. Melody is just right. The high soprano rings. Thinking acoustic is best approach.
Thank you so much for that! I take pride in my melodies and writing lyrics that have having, so i appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏❤️
Beautiful song
Thank you very much! 🙏
Great job!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Great song / release it.👍👍👍
Thank you so much! I'm saving up to do an album in Nashville next month and considering putting this on 🙏
This Song is so fine, i will play it for me on my Guitar❤ Thanks for this wonderfull Musik.
Thank you so much! That's the greatest compliment to a Songwriter when someone else plays a song of ours, by all means make it yours! 🙏
Whow , so great. ❤
Yes...great...i love it...very fine Guitar playing...wounderfull Voice..❤
Thank you so much! 🙏😊
Fantastic❤
Thanks very much! The world needs more writers like John Prine imo! 🙏
A song by John Prine is like a dusty bottle of wine. The older it gets, the harder it hits. I've listened to many renditions of this song, and your cover is superb. The song has two sides, and I've been on both, and neither one is any place to find yourself.
Agree with you 100%! Thank you so much for listening 🙏
Man, I just caught the love of my life cheating on me and asked her to leave. I am now learning about the speed of the sound of loneliness. But, it is better than living with someone who let a stranger in and ended our family.
I'm so sorry you're going through this :( Keep this one on repeat and keep your head up! 🙏
@@annawescoat2588 I saw John in concert at least 10 times and you capture his spirit perfectly!
@@lafreeway ahh I'm jealous!! I wanted to see him so badly, and actually had plans to go hear him and then COVID came around. 👎 Oh well. I'll hear him in heaven one day 🙏
John Prine. Much love
One of the greatest to ever do it! Thanks for listening 🙏🎵
Great version of a great song
Thank you so much! 🙏
That song made me cry. Wow. Powerful.
Thank you so much 🙏🥹
I detest what country music has become. The Nastyville machine, AI generated songs, the fake country voices, and the reptive, annoying lyrics. Thanks for singing this song, from a time when music was much better. You are a fine talent. I hope you have only success going forward. ❤
We are in the same camp my friend! I'm the to bring back the kind of songs that have meaning, not just panders to a certain style. I appreciate your kind words! 🙏
I loved this great performance, Anna! Your voice is amazing and so is your playing! Peace and joy, Charles
Thank you so much, Charles! Really appreciate you taking time to listen and respond :)
WOW.......
Thanks for watching! 😄🙏
Tremendous cover! I just discovered this song today in the form of the Lukas Nelson and Peggy Russell performance at the CMT tribute. What a gem of a song!
Thank you! And I agree, beautifully written song and Loretta sang it so well! 🙏
Love seeing young people honoring John Prine and his music.
Oh yes, I play at least one of his songs at every show 🙏❤️
Great Prine song. And this performance of it is really, really friggin' good.
Thank you so much for that! 🙏
Excellent! Anna nails the song!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Congratulations ISSA 2024 finalist, Anna Been listening and enjoying your music, all the best!
