Gdy Wynonna postanowiła w 1979r zostać profesjonalną piosenkarką, matka zadecydowała, że czas przenieść się z Morrill do Nashville. Wokalnie stanowiły ciekawy duet, a reszty dopełniła profesja Naomi. Przebywający na rehabilitacji w szpitalu w Nashville producent Brent Maher zaproponował matce audycję w studio RCA. Nazwisko i koleje życiowe Naomi Judd kojarzyły
się tak ładnie z bohaterkami powieści dla czytelniczek z Południa, że Nashville postanowiło zainwestować w duet, częściowo z myślą o odzyskaniu tradycyjnego, wiejskiego środowiska.
Pilotażowy minialbum sprawdził się dzięki późniejszym przebojom „John Deere Tractor”, „Head A Dream” i „Mama He’s Crazy”. Duet Judds określono też historycznym z czasem mianem „nowej tradycji" - nawiązującej do wcześniejszej tradycji country and western. Potwierdzeniem definicji był album Homecoming z 1985, na którym Judds wspierały wokalnie m.in. Jerry’ego Lee Lewisa, Roya Orbisona, Johnny’ego Casha i Carla Perkinsa (w 1989 autora ich przeboju „Let Me Tell You About Love”).
Repertuar Judds obejmował też tematy Elli Fitzgerald („Cow Cow Boogie"), Elvisa Presleya („Don’t’ Be Cruel”) i Lee Dorseya („Working In A Coal Mine”). Autorski temat z 1989 „Change Of Heart” Naomi dedykowała Larry’emu Stricklandowi - swojemu przyszłemu drugiemu mężowi, współpracującemu przed laty z Elvisem Presleyem. Równie wdzięczny był wcześniejszy pacjent, Brent Maher - współautor przebojów „Why Not Me”, „Turn It Loose”, „Girls Night Out” i tytułowego przeboju z bestsellerowego albumu Rockin’ With The Rhythm Of The Rain.
Duet opierał jednak głównie repertuar na wypróbowanych specjalistach gatunku jak: Jamie O’Hara („Grandpa Tell Me About The Good Old Days”), Kenny O'Dell („Mama He's Crazy”), Mickey Jupp, Graham Lyle i Troy Seals („Maybe Your Baby’s Got The Blues”), Paul Kennerley („Have Mercy”, „Cry Myself To Sleep”).
Większość nagrań Judds preferowała balladową akustykę (album Give A Little Love), chociaż na płytach pojawiały się też gościnnie gwiazdy z innych orbit: Jordanaires („Don’t Be Cruel"), Emmylou Harris („The Sweetest Gift”, Heartland), Mark Knopfler („Water Of Love”, River Of Time) i Bonnie Raitt (slide guitar) na Love Can Build A Bridge. W 1988 Naomi i Wynonna zostały pierwszym żeńskim duetem kierującym własną agencją promocyjną. Niestety, problemy zdrowotne zmusiły w dwa lata później matkę do zejścia z estrady. Pożegnaniem były nie najwyższego lotu trasy koncertowe, określane przez bardziej cynicznych krytyków jako „dołowanie mamy i szybowanie córki”. Wynonna stała się z czasem jedną z najciekawszych wokalistek soulowych i rhytm’n'bluesowych swojego pokolenia.
