Jo Dee Messina

I hold warm respect for Jo Dee Messina. Six number-one country singles on Billboard, and the first female artist to land three multi-week chart-toppers from one album, that is the mark of staying power, not a flash in the pan. A Massachusetts native who conquered country music is a fun wrinkle in itself, and the fact that she plays guitar and piano marks her as a real musician, not just a voice. I picture someone who fell for music young back in Holliston and never let go. Her steady, hard-earned career is exactly the kind of artistry I appreciate.
