The recognition carries particular significance because ASCAP represents the songwriters, composers and music publishers who contribute to the creation of music. The Golden Note Award celebrates the lasting impact of an artist’s career and contributions to the music community.

From The Judds to a Successful Solo Career

After her 1992 solo debut, Wynonna Judd became a major force in American music. She won five Grammy Awards and built a successful solo career blending country, soul, and pop with the Appalachian roots of The Judds. Her albums Wynonna and Tell Me Why achieved five-times platinum and platinum sales, respectively.

Hits including “No One Else on Earth,” “Tell Me Why,” “She Is His Only Need,” “Girls with Guitars” and “I Saw the Light” helped establish her as a global country music star.

The Hard Truth: A Personal New Chapter

Judd’s latest album, The Hard Truth, is a 10-track release and her first project that she co-wrote from start to finish. Inspired by personal struggles, resilience, and triumph, it earned over 1.3 million streams in its first week and debuted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. She is now touring North America on a 33-date run featuring songs from the album.

Nashville Celebration to Recognize Music’s Creators

Wynonna Judd will receive the ASCAP Golden Note Award on November 16 at an invitation-only Nashville event celebrating top country and Christian songs. The award recognizes her lasting musical influence, successful career, and ability to connect with listeners across generations.
