WYNONNA said, "To have all of these artists, most of which are my friends, come together and lend their voices and artistry to reimagine these songs is so special. These songs are so timeless, and I am so excited for them to live on for generations to come." 

"A Tribute To THE JUDDS" will also be partnering with the NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF MENTAL ILLNESS (NAMI), in honor of NAOMI JUDD, who died by suicide last year after a long battle with depression. For more information on NAMI, please visit here.
