The essential Judds playlist

Co-written by Naomi Judd and released in 1990, "Love Can Build A Bridge" is The Judds' signature song. It's a tender expression of love between mother and daughter at a time when many thought the Judds wouldn't be able to continue making music as Naomi battled Hepatitis C. 

Appearing on 1984's Wynonna & Naomi, "Why Not Me" was the duo's second No. 1 hit and remains a fan favorite nearly four decades later. 

Released in 1986, this nostalgic was an instant No. 1 hit for The Judds, earning the duo (and songwriter Jamie O'Hara) two Grammy Awards in 1987. 

The lead single from Wynonna's 1992 solo debut, "No One Else On Earth" is a stunning showcase of the fiery redhead's powerhouse vocals. 

A No. 1 hit for The Judds in 1985, "Love Is Alive" perfectly showcases the duo's incredible harmonies and sassy vibe. 

Described by Wynonna Judd as a "song to boogie to" in one interview, "I Know Where I'm Going" is also a song that's rooted in the singer's deep faith and belief that she's headed to heaven. "Don't you wanna be there by my side," she asks in the song. "Hand in hand holding on to sweet salvation that is waiting for me and you." 

The Judds notched their 13th No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart with "Young Love" in 1989. Appearing on River Of Time, the song shot to the top of the charts in both the United States and Canada. 

Wynonna Judd's characteristic growl is on full display in "Have Mercy," a 1985 No. 1 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart. 

The release of 1985's "Rockin With the Rhythm of the Rain," another No. 1 hit in country music, coincided perfectly with the line dance craze that was sweeping the country. According to one database, more than a dozen different line dance routines can be performed to the song. 

Like many hits from The Judds, "Girls Night Out" stayed on the country charts for more than three months after its release in 1985. Three decades later, when the duo performed in residency at the Venetian in Las Vegas in 2015, the song inspired the name of the nine-show run. 

"Maybe Your Baby's Got The Blues" feels especially poignant when performed by Naomi and Wynonna Judd, considering the former's lifelong struggle with mental health. You can hear the emotion in her vocals. "When she says there's nothing wrong, she just wants to be alone," the song begins. "You can bet your baby's got the blues." 

The Judds chose "Give A Little Love," written by frequent Judds songwriter Paul Kennerley, as the lead single for their 1988 Greatest Hits compilation. The song was a hit in its own right, hitting No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. 

Jazzy piano, a pulsing rhythm, and Wynonna's wholly unique vocals combine to produce the barn burner that is "Born To Be Blue." Who among us hasn't wondered that we're doomed to a life of romantic strife after a bad breakup?

Though technically a Wynonna Judd single, it's hard to miss the backup vocals provided by her most frequent collaborator (and mom) Naomi. Lyle Lovett also appears in the song, which Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote. 

Written by R&B legend Allen Toussaint and first recorded by Lee Dorsey, The Judds made "Working In The Coal Mine" their own on 1985's Rockin' With The Rhythm. Though it was never released as a single, it remains a favorite among devoted Judds fans. 

This rowdy, rollicking 1988 ode to the Judds' unique brand of country music — infused with R&B, blues, and rock – is the duo at its best. It's a perfect party song and earned the duo another No. 1 Hot Country Songs hit. 

The lead single from The Judds' 1984 album of the same name, "Why Not Me" is one of the duo's most beloved hits. Following the tragic death of Naomi Judd in 2022, the song made its way up the Billboard Digital Songs Chart, a testament to its enduring appeal. 

"She Is His Only Need" was Wynonna Judd's first single as a solo artist, released in 1992 after the duo announced a farewell tour as Naomi Judd battled Hepatitis C.
