Iconic country singer Wynonna brings her 2009 tour and a stunning glimpse into her 25-year epic musical journey to The Orleans Showroom for three nights only, September 25, 26 and 27.
Audiences will witness Wynonna sing the chapters of her life as she performs an eclectic assortment of country, rock, blues and soul-bearing standards from her current album, Sing: Chapter 1. The album, Wynonna's seventh solo effort, is powered by emotional sonnets that formed the backbone of The Judds' own musical standards. Songs include the swinging big band tilt of "That's How Rhythm Was Born," one of the earliest songs Wynonna remembers singing with her mother Naomi, "‘Til I Get It Right," the Tammy Wynette heartbreaker, "Ain't No Sunshine," the Bill Withers classic and "I'm A Woman," popularized by Maria Muldaur. The album also includes the brand new hit "Sing," written by Rodney Crowell, which has already received praise from critics."If you want to hear a singer's singer, one who can move you to the core of your being - Wynonna Judd's deeply moving, authentic ‘Sing: Chapter 1' is a fine place to begin. This may be her finest hour," raves the All Music Guide."All my musical chapters are here," says Wynonna, with her trademark enthusiasm. "Every genre. These are the songs that have moved me ever since I was a little girl. These are the songs I have turned to for comfort and insight at every point in my life."
Called "the greatest female country singer since Patsy Cline" by Rolling Stone magazine, Wynonna has an impressive list of credentials, including more than 10 million albums sold, multiple platinum-plus/gold-plus albums, 16 Top Ten hits and a Top Female Vocalist of the Year Award from the Academy of Country Music. Having played countless sold-out tours, Wynonna's passion for rock and gutsy R&B has long been a hallmark of her charismatic live shows, as she's been a welcome guest of rock icons like U2 and The Rolling Stones.Of her unique ability to connect with fans from all walks of life, Wynonna says, "I'm blessed with the greatest fans in the world. Even when I'm recording, I try to imagine them having a bad day and my music coming on and making them stop for a second, and hopefully feel something that they otherwise may have been too busy to notice."
