OK EVERYONE.........
The 4th single from BuRN is........(Drum roll please)...."BRING ON THE RAIN" (featuring Tim McGraw).
From what I understand, it has been shipped to the major radio stations now and will be going for ads in the next week or two! It is being billed as the "vocal event of the year" from what read in the music row fax that goes out to the industry. Now becuase this is such a wonderful and moving song...it should get picked up pretty fast and since Tim is on it, that will also start a spark at radio.  I think that this song will also help record sales!! Now "DOWNTIME" has not moved down from what I understand so lets keep pushing that one too! "BRING ON THE RAIN" could be HUGE for Jo Dee and could het her several award nomanations in the spring and summer!! So let's get out there and really PUSH this AWESOME song!!!
