Wynonna Judd uses music to heal. The country singer admitted that the suicide of her mother Naomi Judd in April of last year served as her inspiration for writing new tracks. The 58-year-old said earlier in the week, that she had recently composed a song named ‘Broken and Blessed,’ and that’s how she felt during the tour. Among the sentences, one goes: “I’m somewhere between hell and hallelujah.”
Wynonna Judd Feels Blessed For Her Sister And Her Fans
She continued her explanation by saying that she has struggles too in her life. As such, she believes she confesses her struggles via on-stage performances. Wynonna and Ashley Judd, her sister, has become closer as they help each other through the hardship by leaning upon one another.
Wynonna Judd declared that she has become an orphan now, and she is aware of that. As such, she also has a sister with whom she is growing closer than ever. She feels amazing to have someone in her life who is so unlike her but with whom she can find common ground and make things work.
Although the singer, who has won a Grammy, stayed mum about the date when the song will be officially released, her upcoming tour may give fans a chance to hear it. Wynonna herself has said that traveling has evolved into one of the techniques she uses to cope.
The singer-songwriter added that the recent experience is on a completely different level of depth, and she wasn’t anticipating it. She admitted to expecting the experience to be intense, but this feels extremely intense even with the prior expectation. People are reacting to her for acting as honest about my shattered heart as she probably will ever be. It is surprising for her.
Organizers announced the tour on April 11th and would be Naomi and Wynonna Judd’s first in almost ten years. On April 30th, the day prior to the day when the Judds were honored with a Country Music Hall of Fame induction, Naomi was discovered dead. Wynonna acknowledged that while immersing herself in the music has been “therapeutic,” she “lost it” while practicing for the first time without her mother.
