Title: Burn, Baby, Burn
Review: Coming off the justly successful I'M ALRIGHT, Jo Dee Messina's third album finds her mining the same territory that populated her last two sets, with her only occasionally moving out of her comfort zone. The first is the Tina Arena-penned title track, which showcases probably her best vocal work to date. The second is the album closer 'Bring On The Rain', a gorgeous ballad in which she shows exquisite vocal restraint(and the guest turn from Tim McGraw outclasses anything he's done with usually soulless robo-wife Faith Hill). And while nothing else here quite approaches the thrill of those two cuts, the rest of the album is far from bad, just housed in safer territory. Overall, a pretty strong effort from one of the genre's most underrated talents.
