Throughout her career, Wynonna Judd has stood in country music's spotlight. Performing as The Judds, she and her mother Naomi topped the country singles charts 14 times in the '80s. When Wynonna released her first solo album in 1992, she scored another three No. 1 hits, including the top song of that year, "I Saw The Light." (Yes, it even outperformed "Achy Breaky Heart.")
These days, women — including "heritage" artists like Wynonna Judd — get little airplay on country radio. So, while the reunited Judds can sell out weeks in Las Vegas, Wynonna says she's interested in trying something new. After a well-received set at this year's SXSW, she and her band, The Big Noise, joined World Cafe to share a preview of her forthcoming album, to be released in February.
