On this bonus Friday episode, one of the most iconic figures in the country music world, certainly of our time. She is out with the 2023, Judd's the final tour in celebrating of the life and legacy of Naomi Judd. When you have someone who's so cool and powerful

that you can only refer to her as one word, Winona, you know who I'm talking about. I'm taking a walk. Hello, Wynonna. Good morning. It is so tremendous to talk to you, to talk about the 2023, the Judd's, the final tour and celebration

of the life and legacy of Naomi Judd. It's an honor to speak with you. First of all, people always want to know how you're doing. So how are you balancing the need to be staying busy and active with giving yourself some time? Well, I'm not doing a great job with that because balance is not a word that I grew up knowing very well. But I will tell you this, whatever I do, I do it with my full heart. I've got my grandbaby today, so I'm changing diapers. and feeding.

And tomorrow, I will start to get ready for the tour, which takes full time. That's a wedding and a family reunion, and I'm ready to rock. And yet I do take time for myself and I go walking in the wilderness or I take naps. And I do like everybody else. I try to do everything with the best of my ability. And it's not easy, but it's worth it. Well, you're an inspiration for your transparency on your feelings. And I think that connects certainly with your fans and your community.

So the Judd's, the final tour, has this amazing array of folks that are part of it. By the way, folks can go to the Judds.com to check out all the dates. The dates stretch all over the place from Hershey, Pennsylvania to Bridgeport, Connecticut, to Worcester, Mass, Tulsa, Kansas City, St. Louis. I feel like we're riding the train together, Winona. So let's talk about this, I would say, incredible group that will accompany you. You want to start with Ashley McBride? The next generation of greatness, yes. Ashley, he is a fire plug.

She is like, I'm going to tell you something. You got to watch out for that girl because she will absolutely come on stage and slay. And I'm left standing there looking at her like, how in the world did you take over? You've got Ashley. You've certainly got Martina McBride, another force of nature. They're all forces of nature here. Brandy Carlisle, Kelsey Ballerina, the folks from Little Big Town. person we might have heard of called Tanya Tucker, all forces of nature behind a force of nature in you.

Wow, that's interestingly put. You know, we come from different places sometimes, but we're very similar. One of the things I love about this tour is the diversity. Every night is different. Something unique, whelmed, help me. You know, they called me and they said, what can we do to support Winona? and it's not just a show, my dear, this is about fellowship and communication to the fans. And it runs deep. It runs really deep. Kenya and I have known each other since I was a teenager. And so this is a woman I've known my whole adult life pretty much.

What makes Nashville this community like this that is so loving and giving and, you know, just so welcoming to insiders and outsiders? You know, it's interesting you ask that question. I think it's because it's such a small community, you know, music row place, and I think it's one of those deals. If you see someone and you upset them or do something to them, you're going to see them again. This is not like the pop world where you can see somebody one day and then not see them again. Nashville in the 80s, when I started in 1984, you know, you're not late to work with Canada. my mother was very same people on the way up.

You know, the spirit of your mom appears to be with you at your shows. Can you talk about that feeling when you're on stage? And I sense you're sort of looking up and communicating with your mom at that time. I am. We had a very complicated relationship as singing together. When we got on stage, we didn't have the opportunity to use technology. When we hit that stage, something remarkable happened, and the harmonies were literal and figuratively with every note. So in light of the way the last few years of this COVID thing have interrupted our lives and certainly musicians' lives,

can you describe the joy that it brings to someone like you to be out there on stage connecting with your fans? It's one of the holiest moments and I make it emotional. You know, no matter what's going on in my life, I'm able to step out into the light. And when I'm standing there and I look out and knocks me out, it's just, it's one of the most beautiful of my mother. We thank you. For moments of my day. You are an inspiration. We are all on your side.
