Delicious Surprise * by Jo Dee Messina (CD, Apr-2005, Curb Records USA)

great voice, good lyrics a very solid cd...you just dont hear much of her now a days, she stays below the equator

A great CD! I really love Jo Dee's music. She doesn't seem to be in the limelight enough to be seen as the great Country Music entertainer that she is! Great music on this CD with great lyrics. Especially "My give a damn's busted" You just gotta laugh!!

This release from Jo Dee Messina, the first in over four years, was well worth the wait. The debut single from the album, "My Give a Damn's Busted," reflects a lot of the personal strife the singer has had to overcome. All of the songs on this album carry strong messages that speak universally to any of us. Some reflect loss, which could be tied to a break-up in her personal life with her long-time boyfriend. "You Were Just Here" is one such song, performed unbelievably by Messina live. "It Gets Better," co-written by Messina herself, is a ballad that leaves the listener willing to persevere and again reflects a personal battle Messina has waded through. Not all of the album is a downer, though. The first cut, "I'm Not Going Down," has a great kick to it, as well as the title cut, "Delicious Surprise." If you've never been a Jo Dee Messina fan, "Delicious Surprise" is her best work yet and a great way to be introduced to this tremendous and underrated talent.

a nice combination of slow and upbeat songs with lots of heart, a great listen to pick up your mood or if you need time to reflect.

I have een wanting this cd for a while and fially got it. I liked several songs from the cd but was unimpressed with a couple. They ended up turning out to be typical country songs and I was looking forward to a different kind of country. It was a good cd overall though and I liked it overall.

Hey my give a what?? is busted!! I love it! It is now my catch phrase when someone is whining on and on... There a quite a few surprise hits on this cd. I am really glad I got it. They didn't play nearly enough of her good stuff on the radio.

This is an incredible CD !!! Every song makes you want to listen to the next one !!! I bought this CD because I enjoy country music and JoDee is the best, not only is she a great vocalist, but also is a musician, songwriter and a great person. She's the most underrated superstar in country music today. Don't miss this one !!!

The product was just as expected! Top notch! Will deal with again in the future. Quick delivery and great service. A+++++

I love this cd Delicious Surprise by Jo Dee Messina. I can relate to all of these songs, she says it like it is, and she is a great person.
