Judd Family Plans To Reveal Secrets

Naomi and Wynonna Judd famously performed for years as the mother-daughter duo, The Judds. The group disbanded in 1991 due to Naomi’s health problems. Her daughter went on to have a successful solo career. The Judds reunited many, many times over the years for special events or nationwide tours. They were supposed to embark on what was dubbed their final tour in the fall of 2022.

Sadly, Naomi Judd’s past demons caught up with her and she took her own life in April, a few months before the tour.

A little more than a year after the death of Naomi Judd, a couple dozen of her friends and admirers are saluting her and daughter Wynonna on an upcoming album of songs by the Judds. A Tribute to the Judds, due out Oct. 27, will find Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, LeAnn Rimes, Jelly Roll, and many others singing 14 songs made famous by the mother-daughter duo.

“To have all of these artists, most of which are my friends, come together and lend their voices and artistry to reimagine these songs,...

Wynonna Judd is set to star in a feature-length documentary for Paramount+ that will follow the legendary singer as she navigates the next phase of her life and career following the untimely passing of of her mother Naomi Judd.

Beginning with the decision to honor her mother’s legacy by continuing on with “The Judds: The Final Tour,” “Wynonna Judd: Between Hell and Hallelujah” captures candid onstage and behind-the-scenes moments as part of the sold-out nationwide tour, along with personal anecdotes from Wynonna’s friends and fellow artists Ashley McBryde, Brandi Carlile, Faith Hill, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood. The film also includes moving and intimate footage of Wynonna spending quiet, reflective time on the farm with her beloved family and animals, as she continues to process her grief.

“It’s real and it’s raw. It’s celebration and sadness. It’s all of...

Wynonna Judd shared the special way in which she plans to keep her late mother, Naomi Judd’s, spirit alive during her family’s first holiday season without their matriarch.

While speaking with E! News on the 2022 CMA Awards red carpet on Wednesday, the 58-year-old singer revealed that Naomi, who died by suicide in late April, will be honoured through home-cooked meals.

“I’m the matriarch now, so I’ve got my Naomi Judd cookbook,” she said, “and I’m going to be making the recipes as close to hers as I can possibly make them.”

Wynonna, who made up the country duo, The Judds, with her mother, went on to share one of the traditions Naomi instilled in her and her younger sister, Ashley Judd, 54.

“She took us out in the woods and made...

Wynonna Judd and Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield make surprising and superb duet partners on “Other Side,” a collaborative single that mark’s Wynonna’s first new music since the 2020 covers EP Recollections.

It’s a lean arrangement that’s led off by a descending acoustic guitar progression and Cactus Moser’s drums, mellow enough to belie its breezy tempo. Wynonna sets the tone in the opening verse, singing from a place of independence and optimism about what’s ahead. “Say my peace like an offhand prayer, I’m living a grain of sand,...

Where is she? Where is Naomi Judd?

I’m sitting in the CMA Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Wynonna and Ashley Judd are sitting up front with Wy’s son Elijah on one side and Wy’s husband and current musical partner, Cactus Moser, on the other. The program is beginning. The Judds are being inducted as the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and this is a moment I’ve been dreaming about with Naomi for years. But she is not here.

Country icon Naomi Judd, who died suddenly at age 76, and her daughter Wynonna are the subjects of the first installment of Icon, an anthology series in the works at Fox that sets out to profile some of the world’s biggest music legends.

The project, from producer Gail Berman and top country music manager Jason Owen, was announced in August 2020, with Naomi and Wynonna Judd as executive producers on the first season which tells their story.

Icon was put through Fox’s script-to-series model, with The Morning Show exec producer Adam Milch as writer, executive producer and showrunner. I hear Naomi Judd was very involved in the process, sharing her experience and providing input in a series of conversations with Milch.

Multiple scripts have been written. While I hear Fox brass have been high on the project from the start and like what they have seen, a pickup decision was...

Exclusive: Icon, the anthology drama in the works at Fox that will profile music legends such as Naomi and Wynonna Judd, has found its showrunner.

The Morning Show exec producer Adam Milch has joined the project and will serve as showrunner, writer and executive producer.

Icon, which was put into development last summer, will tell the story of country music’s first mother/daughter duo, Naomi and Wynonna Judd.

The duo dominated country music in the 1980s and ’90s, winning countless awards, selling more than 20 million albums and creating a string of hits. The Judds stopped performing as a duo in 1991 after Naomi was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Wynonna then began a successful solo career. The two occasionally have reunited for special tours, the most recent in 2010.

The series will spotlight the drama behind the glamour and the dynamic relationship between the pair. It will tell their story through the...

At this point in her career, Wynonna’s pretty much been there and done that. As one half of the Judds with her mother Naomi, the performer achieved fame nearly 40 years ago and, with her mom, became one of country’s most successful duos in history. As a solo artist, she showcased an even wider range of her talent, branching out into soulful pop and blues-rock like “No One Else on Earth” alongside country balladry like “To Be Loved by You.”

Her latest release, Recollections, was put out through a...

Fox is developing a one-hour music anthology series, Variety has confirmed.

The series is currently titled “Icon.” Each season would focus on the true stories of the music legends we think we know. These icons are the voices who have made a significant mark in music’s history and created a sound and response that people around the world have come to love and identify with.

The potential first season is set to focus on country music’s only mother-daughter duo, Naomi and Wynonna Judd. The iconic pair dominated country music in the ’80s and ’90s, winning countless awards, selling more than 20 million albums and creating a string of hits.

No writer is currently attached to the project. The Judds will executive produce along with Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady of The Jackal Group and Jason Owen of Sandbox Entertainment. Les Borsai, Greg Hill, Cactus Moser, and Larry Strickland will produce.

Grammy-winning country performer Wynonna will perform covers of John Prine, Fats Domino, and others on her upcoming EP, Recollections. Due out October 30th via Anti- Records, the project’s first release is a down-and-dirty version of Slim Harpo’s “King Bee.”

Largely recorded at Wynonna’s farm in Tennessee during quarantine, the EP retains the looseness of an at-home jam session being captured on tape. Wynonna and her husband, musician Cactus Moser, worked on the recordings together. “King Bee” is a swampy blues number, full of barbed electric guitars and slide riffs,...

The first installment will focus on Grammy-winning mother-daughter country music duo Naomi and Wynonna Judd, who will executive produce. A search is underway for a writer to pen their story.

Icon is inspired by the thrilling true stories of the music legends we think we know. Season 1 celebrates the Judds, country music’s only hitmaking mother-daughter duo. The trailblazing duo dominated country music in the 1980s and ’90s, winning countless awards, selling more than 20 million albums and creating a string of hits.

Hot on the heels of last week’s live performance together at the iconic Fillmore in San San Francisco, Wynonna and the Big Noise have teamed up with Grateful Dead founder and guitarist Bob Weir for a refreshingly potent studio version of the Dead’s “Ramble on Rose.”

With lyrics from the late Robert Hunter and music by Jerry Garcia, the words of the slow-rolling tune are packed with literary and pop-culture references, from Frankenstein author Mary (Wollstonecroft) Shelley and pioneering rock & roll DJ Wolfman Jack to a line that...

Nearly six years ago, when Wynonna Judd announced her new recording project and formed the band called Wynonna & the Big Noise, her move to a more Americana-leaning musical direction, encompassing country, rock, soul, blues, and more, was, in the singer’s own words, “life-changing.” Since the 2016 release of the band’s self-titled debut, which features her husband Cactus Moser on drums, the Kentucky-born powerhouse has continued to defy expectations — a practice that continued with the group’s Thursday night tour stop in San Francisco.

Taking the stage of the historic...

There’s a massive, mostly empty room at the center of Wynonna Judd’s house with a large picture window that looks out across her farm south of Nashville. The view from the only chair in the room, which Wynonna calls her “prayer chair,” is a serene pasture and pond. The high, vaulted ceilings make singing in that room an acoustic dream, with the bare walls providing natural reverb.

This is where Wynonna recorded her a cappella performance of the standard “Feeling Good” (premiering today), and it all just happened...

For more than a year, Naomi Judd kept her depression hidden from daughter Wynonna, only admitting the depths of her troubles after she spent a week and a half in a psychiatric ward.

“Wynonna and I make each other so emotional it’s not healthy,” Judd tells People of their complicated mother-daughter relationship, which has, in large part, played out in the spotlight as country duo The Judds. Naomi says she kept Wynonna at arm’s length because she was worried how learning of her illness might affect her daughter.

“We are so empathic, we can look at each other...

When it comes to cultural impact, mega-sales and drama, this year’s Best Original Song category at the Academy Awards is going to have an awfully difficult time competing with last year’s category.

The 2013 winner, you might remember, was “Let It Go,” the anthem from “Frozen” that became a hit around the world and spawned a zillion amateur YouTube renditions.

And “Let It Go” was joined as a nominee by another song that was so ubiquitous that most sentient human beings got sick of hearing it before the Oscars – Pharrell Williams’ “Happy,...

Wynonna Judd and Cactus Moser had been married just two months when a motorcycle accident nearly ended their lives together for good. What followed was a long, emotional recovery period that tested the strength of their relationship and redefined who they were as both individuals and a couple. Six months after the tragic crash -- in which Moser lost his leg -- the 48-year-old singer and her 55-year-old drummer husband sat down with Us Weekly entertainment director Ian Drew to share their story for the first [...]...

Country icon Wynonna's size is no laughing matter. Despite playfully telling Tuesday's Good Morning America audience about signing on to Dancing with the Stars so that she can get down to her birth weight, the singer says her health has actually become a growing concern. "This is a great diversion for me, because it will focus on self-care, which for women - especially working as hard as I do - we forget to put ourselves on the list," Wynonna, 48, told People shortly after it was announced she'd be joining the cast of ABC's hit show. "This will force me to take care of myself.

Kentucky native and avid Wildcats fan Ashley Judd is considering a Senate bid in her home state, Politico reports.

The De-Lovely actress, who actually resides on a farm in Tennessee, has been devoting more and more time to political activism in the last few years, even completing a master’s degree at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2010. More recently, she’s discussed her political ambitions with Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-n.Y.) and started conducting campaign research.

A rep for Judd offered no comment besides an earlier statement: “I cherish Kentucky, heart and soul, and while I’m very honored by the consideration,...

Three months after losing his leg following a motorcycle accident, country star Wynonna's husband, drummer Cactus Moser, triumphantly returned to the stage. The audience in Regina, Saskatchewan, gave Moser, 55, a lengthy standing ovation on Tuesday night when he performed with his wife at the kick-off of her Rockin' Christmas tour, reports the Regina Leader-Post. "It's been a long way from Aug. 18 to here," Wynonna, 48, told the crowd. "It's truly a miracle."After his motorcycle collided with an oncoming vehicle Aug. 18 in South Dakota, doctors had to amputate Moser's left leg above the knee and also performed surgery on one of his hands.

1. Radiohead: Stage Collapse Caused 'Grief & Shock'

English rock band Radiohead issued a statement Thursday on last weekend's roof collapse during a concert in Toronto that killed a crew member and injured three others.

"As you will probably have heard the roof over the stage collapsed at our show in Toronto, killing crew member Scott Johnson and injuring three other crew members," the statement reads. "The collapse also destroyed the light show - this show was unique and will take many weeks to replace. The collapse also caused serious damage to our backline, some elements of which are decades old and therefore hard to replace."

The statement goes on to state that due to last Saturday's tragic accident and resulting damage, the group will have to reschedule some upcoming shows in Europe. "Whilst we all are dealing with the grief and shock ensuing from this terrible accident, there are also...
