During times of unimaginable loss, these country songs can soothe the soul.

Got a birthday coming up? So do these country artists!

On April 17, 2006, Messina ran the Boston Marathon ... and completed the race, even after injuring her knee.

Redheads have long been a powerful force in the country music world, bringing the heat in their music, style, powerful anthems ... and hair!

On Feb. 8, 2002, 'Burn' was certified platinum, for sales of one million units.

Five artists guaranteed there'd be one more big tour push before the end of 2023.

She recalled a hilarious story of how she once FaceTimed Trisha Yearwood ... while live on stage.

"Back in the '90s it was, 'Oh my gosh. If this doesn’t do well, they won’t like me. They don’t like me. Oh my gosh, I’m not good enough.' It was a total beating session to me."

"Somebody heard me here, somebody heard me there and then I ending up getting a deal, but that was McGraw that made that happen."

It's a perfect mix of classic Southern architecture and luxury living.

Messina wasn't kidding when she said she's been experiencing a songwriting renaissance.

She had no idea the song was in the works until she heard the finished product.

You know "Carlene" and "Just Another Day in Paradise," but did you know Phil Vassar also wrote these country hits for other artists?

The Boot looks back on twenty-five years of Jo Dee Messina's breakthrough album.

The two stars joined forces for a performance of their 'She Had Me at Heads Carolina' remix at the 2023 ACM Awards.

The pair brought a mashup of Swindell's recent hit and Messina's breakout single to the ACM Awards on Thursday night.

She knew exactly what to say to put everything in perspective.

"I thought you did a killer job."

She says she's never been known as a writer.

"Everything is looked at through a lens of gratitude," Messina says.
