A Tribute To The Judds, a new compilation album packed with reimagined versions of the legendary duo’s songs, is set for release on Oct. 27 via BMG.
Wynonna Judd, Ashley McBryde, Blake Shelton, Carl Perkins, Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson, Dolly Parton, Gabby Barrett, Gwen Stefani, Jamey Johnson, Jelly Roll, Jennifer Nettles, Lainey Wilson, LeAnn Rimes, Megan Moroney, Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood and many more pay homage to the pair on the brand new project.
Among the favorites on the compilation are “Mama He’s Crazy” with Wilson and Parton, “Love Is Alive” from Stefani and Shelton, a sassy rendition of “Girls Night Out” with McEntire, Nettles and Barrett, and a rousing version of “Love Can Build A Bridge” featuring Jelly Roll, K. Michelle and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.
The all of the album was produced by The Judds’ original producer Brent Maher besides “Cry Myself to Sleep,” which was produced by Cactus Moser. The project celebrates The Judds’ 40-year anniversary after being signed to RCA Records by Joe Galante, who served as the collection’s Executive Producer and spearheaded the record into fruition alongside Renee Bell. His previous work with The Judds achieved multiple accolades including six multi-Platinum albums, five Grammys, nine CMA Awards, eight ACM Awards and an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
“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,” says Wynonna Judd.
“To all of you who listen to this music, I wish you could have been with us in the studio when we recorded these songs. There was a joy and passion along with some poignant moments in re-recording these Judd songs that are impossible to describe. I hope you enjoy this record as much as we enjoyed making it,” says Maher.
A Tribute To The Judds will also be partnering with the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI), in honor of Naomi Judd.
