  • Today In Country Music: The Judds Perform An Emotional Farewell Show In 1991
    This will be a tearjerker – let’s go back to December 4th 1991, where iconic mom and daughter duo, Naomi and Wynonna Judd, performed their emotional farewell show
    Earlier that year, Naomi Judd revealed that she had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C, which at the time was a little-understood and potentially fatal condition. Doctors told Naomi that she needed to stop touring for her health, leading to the farewell tour
    Their farewell performance is considered one of the most powerful moments in country music history, which included some of their biggest hits, “Love Can Build A Bridge,” “Girls Night Out,” and my favorite, “Why Not Me”
    Wynonna took the spotlight multiple times, symbolizing the passing of the torch to her solo career. Naomi continued to receive extensive treatment for Hepatitis C, eventually went into remission, and became an advocate for the disease – writing books and appearing on TV
    The country community was shattered to learn of Naomi Judd’s passing in April of 2022, and just a day after, the Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame

  • Today In Country Music: 60 Minutes Reporter Asks Dolly Parton About Her Boobs
    Can you imagine if an interviewer asked a question like this nowadays? Let's go back to 1986, when 60 Minutes reporter Mike Munro asked Dolly Parton a very personal question
    Yeah, he asked about her chest measurements! Insane. Dolly’s always been very open about her look, with her signature bleach blonde hair, busty dresses, and long fingernails – she was highly critiqued in her early career when label executives and family members told her to change her look to “appeal to a wider audience.” Dolly has admitted several times that her style was inspired by the “town tramp”
    I’m so glad she blocked out the haters…
