Country music icon Jo Dee Messina visits Phil in the cellar to tell the stories behind their many hit records. Phil admits to almost making one of the biggest mistakes of his career in initially trying to talk Jo Dee out of recording “Bye Bye”; thinking it wouldn’t be a fitting female song, the track became both of their first #1’s. The two talk about the draining difficulties that come with constant touring and what they have to focus on to give stellar performances. Jo Dee shares what it’s like to tour as a mother and the adventures that she gets to share with her children on the tour bus. She also shares how diving into her faith has affected her music, and performs her recent Christian single, “Reckless Love.” Performances: “Bye Bye” - Jo Dee Messina “Reckless Love” - Jo Dee Messina To stay up to date with Jo Dee Messina, head on over to https://jodeemessina.com/2019/ [https://jodeemessina.com/2019/] More info on Songs From The Cellar & details on how to watch the TV series can be found at https://www.songsfromthecellar.com [https://www.songsfromthecellar.com/] Keep up with Jo Dee Messina on Social media at: Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/jodeemessina] Instagram [https://instagram.com/jodeemessina?utm_medium=copy_link] Twitter [https://twitter.com/jodeemessina] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/user/JoDeeMessina/featured] Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/artist/3ltFy7g6KKQPPttsdOMlq3?si=xJLEOSZKTlqbUzn6dlZhWw&dl_branch=1] Follow Phil Vassar and Songs From The Cellar at: Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/philvassarsftc] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/philvassarsftc/] Twitter [https://twitter.com/philvassarsftc] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTP55ODgXQzmV7ICXS0H72A] Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/artist/1XhhO2dTs2fKyhILj0aam6?si=Qw2XbaLrSO-J0KMRa1foLA] Check out more awesome podcasts at: American Songwriter Podcast Network [https://americansongwriter.com/american-songwriter-podcast-network/] And go!
