iTunes Review
Considered to be her "comeback" (that's what they call it in Nashville when you resurface after taking half a decade off from recording full-length albums), Jo Dee Messina's Delicious Surprise sounds like she hasn't skipped a beat since 2000's Burn. The innuendo-free "Not Going Down" introduces Delicious Surprise with Messina's big and brazen voice belting out a triumphant twang-pop hit about standing strong when life deals you a hand of low cards. Similarly, the poignant "It Gets Better" continues along with the same theme, but she co-wrote this power ballad after her experience with rehab and you can really hear it in her soaring emotion and confessional lyrics, just as you can with the slightly melodramatic but harmonious "Love Is Not Enough." Things get a little redneck-rowdy à la Gretchen Wilson with the sassy, "My Give a Damn's Busted." The song lacks the very edge it's going for, though it's still pretty funny and catchy as hell.
Customer Reviews
Such power
This album is easily Jo Dee's best yet. If you can only get one song, make it You Were Just Here. The power and sincerity in her voice is stunning. It pulls me each time I hear it. All the other songs are great, too. Not Going Down, It's Too Late to Worry, and Delicious Surprise are three very fun, up-tempo songs that make this album a must.
Come a long way
I have always enjoyed Jo Dee's music and this latest album is on top of the list of her accomplishments. My Give a Damn's Busted, Delicious Surprise and Someone Else's Life are some of my favorites on this album. I only hope we don't have to wait for such a long time to hear more new stuff from her.
Amazing!!!!
Having to wait 5 years for a new album to come out was well worth the wait! You can tell that Jo Dee Messina put everything she had into producing this album. This is by far one of her better album's, because there are songs that she wrote on the album, so you know that they are coming from the heart when she sings it!
