Wynonna Judd Information

Wynonna Judd was born Christina Ciminella in Ashland, KY, on May 30, 1964. Her mother, Naomi, was still in high school at the time, and her biological father abandoned the family almost immediately. She Moved to California at the age of four, but came back to Kentucky at ten. Wynonna learned to play guitar after receiving one as a gift and was soon singing in close harmony with her mother. By the time she became a teenager, Wynonna was completely wrapped up in music. She moved with her mother to Franklin, TN, near Nashville, at the age of 15. Her mother encouraged her music. Suddenly, Wynonna was out of the house and living out of a suitcase. First there was the Judds' live audition in the office of RCA's Joe Galante. Then their first show, playing to an audience of 10,000 as the opening act for the Statlers in 1984. The hits started and kept coming -23 of them - and awards began piling up. The Country Music Association's Horizon Award for 1984 was the first of their eight CMA awards.

They won the first of four Grammy's in 1985. Album sales soared to over 11 million worldwide, including six gold, three platinum and one double platinum. The Judds' career came to an end when Naomi retired due to chronic hepatitis contracted during her nursing career. At the age of 27, Wynonna had to face the world alone for the first time in her life, musically as well as emotionally. She signed with a new label, teamed up with a new producer, Tony Brown, found her own songs for the first time, and worked with a new studio band. She debuted as a solo singer on network TV at the American Music Awards with a performance of She Is His Only Need. Copies of the single were sent overnight to radio stations, and by the end of the next day, Wynonna Judd was an established star on country radio. The album release was treated as a major event in the music press, garnering the lead review in Rolling Stone and a rave from the New York Times, which tagged it 'a faultless '90s country album.' the first single went to #1, and three more followed: I Saw the Light, No One Else On Earth, and My Strongest Weakness. The natural spontaneity that Wynonna followed in choosing and recording songs, combined with her ability to sing any type of song, gives Tell Me Why a feeling of freedom, a feeling that every song gets its own special performance.
