Wynonna also played the "What If" game when it came to find an opening act. In this case, the question was, "What if Jo Dee Messina tours with us?" According to Naomi, "There was no question about who we wanted for our opening act."
"When I was a kid," says fellow redhead Messina, "I wanted to be a Judd. This really is a dream...I remember the first time I heard a Judds song. It was so fresh and so new and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is incredible.' If it wasn't for their music, I wouldn't have a career. They opened the door for me and now here I am."
Adds Naomi, "I'm not real happy with the state of country music these days, but I think Jo Dee not only has personality and vigor, she delivers the goods."
