If there's anyone who believes in the transformative power of dreams, it's Jo Dee Messina. The double-platinum redhead with the raucous laugh, survivor's heart and full-tilt passion for life has seen her love of music carry her to summits and thrills that are world's away from her Holliston, Massachusetts-birthplace and hometown. A multiple Female Vocalist of the Year nominee, Messina won the Country Music Association's prestigious Horizon Award recognizing career growth, the Academy of Country Music's Top New Female Vocalist Award and the Boston Music Awards' Artist of the Year - besting such hometown faves as Aerosmith, Paula Cole, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Rob Zombie for the honor - on her way to becoming Billboard's Most Played Country Female of 1999 by virtue of having two of the Top 10 Songs of the last two years (1998's #2 "Bye, Bye" and #4 "I'm Alright" and 1999's #3 "Lesson In Leavin'" and #7 "Stand Beside Me")....
