ICYMI: Jo Dee Messina Honors Fallen Heroes With Song “Heaven Was Needing A Hero”

Messina's undeniable talent quickly caught the attention of the music industry. In 1996, she signed with Curb Records and released her debut single, "Bye Bye." The song became an instant hit, soaring to the top of the country music charts and paving the way for a successful career. She is still signed to the label today.

Over the next decade, Messina released numerous chart-topping hits, including "Stand Beside Me," "That's the Way," and "My Give a Damn's Busted." Her dynamic voice and ability to connect with her audience earned her a dedicated fan base and multiple awards, including the prestigious Country Music Association Award for Female Vocalist of the Year in 1999.

However, in the late 2000s, Messina faced personal challenges and decided to take a step back from the limelight. She focused on her family and took a hiatus from touring and recording. While her absence left fans yearning for more, it allowed her time to regroup, recharge, and find renewed inspiration for her music.

Jo Dee Messina's return to the country music scene has been nothing short of spectacular. In 2019, she made a surprising comeback with her heartfelt single, "Reckless Love," which resonated with fans old and new. The song showcased her signature soulful voice and brought a fresh perspective to her music.

However, it was Messina's collaboration with Cole Swindell on the iconic country anthem, "Heads Carolina," that truly put her back in the spotlight. The duet, which combined the best of Messina's timeless sound with Swindell's modern country charm, captivated audiences and catapulted her into the mainstream once again.

With her triumphant return, Jo Dee Messina is making the most of her newfound publicity. She has been actively performing at sold-out shows, captivating audiences with her energetic stage presence and emotionally charged performances. In addition, she has embraced the digital age, using social media platforms to connect with fans and share her journey as she continues to create and release new music.

Jo Dee performed a song that she released in 2010 called "Heaven Was Needing a Hero" at the PBS Memorial Day Concert on PBS. She joined other artists like Trace Adkins, Yolanda Adams, The War and Treaty, Philip Philips and more. Check out her gorgeous song!
