More on Jo Dee Messina:

Jo Dee Messina is a country music powerhouse who has carved her own path and helped clear the way for the artists coming up behind her.

You can hear her influence everywhere, from Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson to Cole Swindell, whose hit “She Had Me at Heads Carolina” nods to her classic “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” and artists like Sierra Ferrell and Nikki Lane, who recently put their own spin on “Lesson in Leavin’.”

Jo Dee is far more than a country star; her impact reaches across generations, genres, and eras.
