Looking over Wynonna Judd’s immense discography, which totals seven solo albums and five albums as one-half of The Judds, she’s got an impressive collection of work to her name. Adding to that weighty list comes a new full-length album, Wynonna’s first in nearly 13 years (via Rolling Stone Country).

Wynonna & The Big Noise will be the musician’s first “band” album, and will also feature an impressive array of talented guest stars. Those names include indie country darling Jason Isbell on “Things That I Lean On,” the Eagles’ Timothy B. Schmit on “I Can See Everything,” and husband and wife duo Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi on two tracks. Schmit wrote “I Can See Everything,” and other tracks on the album include songs from musicians like Chris Stapleton, Travis Meadows, David Lee Murphy and Julie Miller. Her husband, Cactus Moser, produced Wynonna & The Big Noise.
Speaking with Rolling Stone Country earlier this year, Wynonna expressed how she was now more interested in an unpolished sound. “I have a newfound passion for what it is God gave me the gift to do and it’s all because of my husband,” Wynonna said. “He challenged me in a way that no one has ever—he stripped me of all my gimmicks and all my ‘go-to’s’… the ways I’ve done things in the past. He said, ‘This is a new day and a new way to be’ and I just got in the studio in front of that microphone and sang from my toenails. I let whatever came to me just fly.”
Wynonna & The Big Noise drops February 12.
