The singer only rarely shows her true self in song.
Wynonna Judd (like any good diva, she dispenses with the surname career-wise) knows how to cover the musical bases, and there's no question that remarkable voice of hers can handle country, pop balladry, rocking blues, soul and gospel.
So how is it that as she approaches 45, a milestone she mentioned several times during her first concert of the year at Club Nokia on Thursday, she still hasn't developed into something more than just an impressive vocalist?
Not that it mattered much to the rabid crowd that filled
about two-thirds of the 2,300-seat theater. Judging by her remarks from the
stage, it doesn't matter to Wynonna either. She said she's quit reading reviews
and paying attention to chart numbers, and from now on she's just out to have
fun.
