I love all of these songs and “Is It Over Yet” has to come in #1 for me. Not a big fan of “Girls With Guitars” and “Attitude” but cant deny the voice!! Excellent list

Late to the party but this is an awesome list with really thoughtful commentary. I can especially relate to your opening paragraph.

My number one from Wy would be either “Sometimes I Feel Like Elvis” or “Heaven Help Me”…. “What The World Needs Now” is one of my favorite albums of all time. period.

Good list though, I liked your choices.

The Judds were finished by the time I got into country music full time so I’m not familiar with most of their material.

It was “A Bad Goodbye” that really got me into country duets. I also liked Wynonna’s duet with John Berry, “We Can’t Unmake Love”. Of her solo efforts not mentioned above, I would include “The Kind of Fool Love Makes”, “When Love Starts Talking” and “Who Am I Trying to Fool”.

Thank you. This list would probably change with the day but I do regret leaving off “My Strongest Weakness” and “I Just Drove By” and, to a lesser extent “Only Love” and “To Be Loved By You”. I knew some people would be surprised not to see “Flies on the Butter” as I saw that one come up in a lot of discussions of the non-hit singles of the decade, but that’s just one I could never get into for some reason. I love the Judds but that one didn’t do it for me.

Another one that I’ve always liked is “Don’t You Throw that Mojo on Me” with Naomi and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

I like a lot of the Judds singles, but I think that Wynonna has made more interesting and rewarding music on her own than she did as a duo with her mom.

Quite a few of my favorites didn’t make the cut, even though I enjoy the vast majority of the songs on this list.

“Is it Over Yet” has been mentioned already, but among her other singles, I most miss “My Strongest Weakness” and “Flies on the Butter.”

Two album cuts that are probably my favorite songs she ever did: “Love By Grace” and “Sometimes I Feel Like Elvis”, which would be two of my top three overall (the third being “Come Some Rainy Day”) in some order or another.

Great work on the list. It’s always nice to see some love for Wynonna.

Great post, Michael.

I prefer the Judds sound over Wynonna’s too, but I like a good part of Wy’s work as well. Two songs that I would have on my list are “Flies on the Butter” and “Rescue Me.” While I’m not fond of the Journey cover, I think “Is It Over Yet” is one of my faves too.

No implication implied. And I agree: Naomi might be a trainwreck off stage – and even on stage when she’s not singing (actually you didn’t say that, so that’s not the point I’m agreeing on). But in hindsight, she (probably with Brett Maher and Don Potter) really crafted a unique and recognizable sound.
