Neil Haislop's Nashville IQ

Jo Dee Messina looked toned, tanned and terrific last night as she hosted her own All Access special on CMT. The one-hour performance special was perhaps the most extravagant All Access to date, including several special effects, high energy dancers and a combination of her previous hits and songs off of her forthcoming album, BURN, which is due in stores on August 1st.

MORE: Phil Vassar was MESSINA's special guest, singing along on "Bye Bye," which he wrote, and his current single, "Just Another Day in Paradise." Some of the highlights included some high energy dancers, which added a definite energy to the night, a special rain fall effect during one of her new songs called "Bring on the Rain," and some fire effects during the title track of her new album, BURN. According to a representative from Jo Dee's camp, some of the elements that were part of the All Access special are indicative of what we can expect when Jo Dee goes on tour this fall.

By the way, you can keep up with all of Jo Dee's upcoming activities on her website, jodeemessina.com, which received 1.6 million hits in the month of June.
