Didn' t Matter How Simple Or How Much.

"She doesn't have the pipes of some other singers, and she occassionaly slips into a sacherine vein thats a little hard to take, but Wynonna Judd gets it. She knows what music is for, and she knows there's a time for tough, a time for soft, a time to growl, and a time to coo. She GETS IT.And, on just about every record with her mother and on her solo stuff, there is some moment that she sings so perfectly it brings a lump to your throat. "When I Reach The Place I'm Goin'" comes close, but on WYNONNA it is "She Is His Only Need," a tune that would have been pedestrian in the hands of a lesser talent. It's just a corny little thing until she turns the phrase "Boy, ain't that love just something when it's strong enough to keep a man going."She is a masterful, masterful singer, lightyears ahead of her contemporaries.A stodgy selection of tunes, and the dependence on a bland set of backing singers, makes WYNONNA a less than great LP, but her voice makes it all listenable. The best moments are magic."

"Wynnona is fabulous. Her voice is melodic and charming. This CD introduces the country flair and energy she has with a lot of grace and country energy.Every song tells a story and does it with a lot of heart. If you like the JUDDS, you should have this one too. A must for every fan. Her "Collection" is my favorite! Buy it!"

"Since the mid 1980s the Judds were one of the top country duetsin the country. When Niaomi had to retire, Daughter Wyonnona(Real name Christina). Had to go solo. This first solo CD shows that Wynonna can carry her self in the country music business. This CD has many top country hits. Such as the spirited "what it takes" "I saw the light" and "no one else on earth". This songs have a strong pop component. Of course wynonna has a great voice for singing ballads such as "She is his only need" and "its never easy to say goodbye". She also includes a spiritual ballad "Live with Jesus". Wynnona's voice has a soulfulness that makes her songs sound believable"
