Our original interview with The Judds in 2000 and new 2009 interview with Naomi

Grammy Award® winners The Judds are Naomi Judd and her daughter, Wynonna.

They signed with RCA Records in 1983 and became a popular country music duo. As The Judds, they recorded more than ten studio albums, as well as had fourteen number one singles.

In 1991, Naomi was forced to retire due to hepatitis C. Meanwhile, Wynonna continued in music and started a successful solo career.

Mom and daughter did reunite as The Judds in 1999 and 2000. Recently, they have performed at various events, including the 2008 Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California and shows in Canada.

In the January 2000 interview (available in Real video below), the mother-and-daughter country act talked to SIDEWALKS' Cindy Rhodes via satellite about their reunion tour, Wynonna's CD, Naomi's illness, and, basically, what life is like for a Judd woman.

In the 2009 interview (available above) with SIDEWALKS host Rafael Siegel, Naomi talks about how The Judds got started and her role as judge on Can You Duet?, the weekly music competition series from the American Idol producers that will seek to find country music's next great duo.
