Notes: Audio Mixer: Justin Niebank. Arrangers: Don Potter; Bergen White. SING, CHAPTER 1 is Wynonna's musical autobiography. Released to celebrate a quarter century in the music business (the Judds' first hit, "Why Not Me," hit the charts in 1984), SING, CHAPTER 1 features a full dozen standards hand-picked by Wynonna to signify different points in her musical life. Far from being merely a country album, the 12 tracks include R&B (Bill Withers's 1970s soul hit "Ain't No Sunshine"), Sun Records rockabilly (the oft-covered classic "I Hear You Knockin'"), Dusty Springfield-style pop (the Bacharach-David standard "Anyone Who Had A Heart"), and jazzy torch songs (the Nat King Cole classic "When I Fall In Love") along with Nashville nuggets like Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." The production, by longtime collaborator Don Potter and current country hitmaker Brent Maher is bright and burnished enough to fit comfortably on contemporary country radio, but Wynonna's increasingly soulful, lived-in vocal style touches the heart throughout.

In 1992, Wynonna Judd began the daunting task of following up the success of the Judds, the amazingly successful duo she'd formed with her mother, Naomi. Her debut release was hailed as one of the "most important albums of the '90s" by Rolling Stone magazine, and it was a hit. Wynonna finally stepped out of her mother's shadow to become a superstar in her own right, as well as a favorite tabloid target. Like many other country stars of her generation, Wynonna has incorporated strong rock and pop influences into her very contemporary brand of country music.
