Five-time GRAMMY winner and New York Times bestselling author, Wynonna Judd had an incredible 2014, releasing a brand new single, “Something You Can’t Live Without” – produced by husband/band leader Cactus Moser, starring in an hour-long television documentary Wynonna & Cactus: The Road Back, a national magazine cover feature in UsWeekly, plus competing on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
Wynonna has also been recording her eighth studio album via Curb Records. It’s just the latest in a string of hit albums that started with her quintuple platinum 1992 solo debut, Wynonna.
That set spawned four number one hits and was the bestselling country album ever by a female artist at that time. In 1994, Wynonna received the coveted Top Female Vocalist of the Year trophy at the ACM Awards, and Rolling Stone called her “the greatest female country singer since Patsy Cline.” Engaging the soulful, bluesy side of her voice only hinted at with The Judds, Wynonna went on to sell more than 10 million albums and reach new creative heights with six chart toppers of her own.
In early 2012 she expanded into fiction with her stirring novel, Restless Heart. Drawing on her nearly 30 years experience as a country music megastar, Wynonna’s debut novel tells the story of a young aspiring country singer and her dizzying rise to stardom that leads her on a path of self-discovery grappling with love, loss, success, and surrender.
Of course, Wynonna’s own journey as one half of legendary duo The Judds with her mother Naomi Judd provides one of the most fascinating stories in country music history. Rising to superstardom in the early ’80s on the strength of chart toppers like “Mama’s He’s Crazy,” “Why Not Me” and “Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Old Days),” The Judds were unstoppable for the rest of the decade picking up multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM Awards and selling more than 20 million albums along the way.
