ICGMA Top Album Award 1999

The International Country Gospel Music Association gave their Top Album Award in 1999 to Jody’s patriotic album, My Country .

The album, which is filled with all-time favorite American patriotic songs and some brand new pieces written specifically for Jody, is a tribute to the United States and to the soldiers who defends her.

In response to the honor, Jody said, “I hope they chose ‘My Country’ as Album of the Year because it was the best one around!

“Really, I think the Association awarded ‘My Country’ with such high praise because the music exemplifies the best of Country and Southern Gospel. It has great songs!” Jody said.

“There is a saying in the music business … ‘a good song don’t care who sings it’ … which means that the song is what is most important, not the singer. This album is good because the songs on it are great!”


CGMG Entertainer of the Year 1999

The Country Gospel Music Guild honored Jody with their Entertainer of the Year Award in September 1999.

Jody said this honor means a great deal to her. “I have been in the music business for 35 years, and I remember when I would have been shot rather than get on stage, I was so frightened,” she said.

“But now I can’t wait to help people in my audience feel at ease, lighten up their lives, let them hear what I consider beautiful music written by God Himself.”
