"Getting to share this tour with the fans who have been with me for 40 years, means the world to me," Judd says on social media. "As I sit and listen to these two records, I’m flooded with the memories that surrounded that time in my life. The fans held me up and supported me through a season of change in 1992, and I now see “herstory” repeating itself. This music healed me then, and is healing me now."
In 1992, Judd had just become a solo artist after a Hall of Fame career with her mother Naomi Judd and the Judds. In 2023, she's once again taking to the road solo after wrapping the Judds final tour by herself.
Naomi Judd died by suicide in April 2022.
Hit songs from the two albums that Judd plans to focus on include her debut single "She Is His Only Need," "I Saw the Light" and "No One Else On Earth" (all chart-toppers from Wynonna). The Tell Me Why album produced three Top 5 singles including the title track, "Only Love" and "Rock Bottom."
Judd has released eight solo studio albums, the most recent being Wynonna & the Big Noise in 2016. The tour will begin one day before a Judds tribute album is released.
