Wynonna is the debut solo studio album by American country music artist Wynonna Judd, released on March 31, 1992, via MCA Records in association with Curb Records.
Prior to the release of Wynonna, Judd was part of the massively successful duo, the Judds, which consisted of her and her mother Naomi Judd. They were one of the biggest acts in country in the 1980's until the duo disbanded in 1991 following Naomi's hepatitis diagnosis. Production on Wynonna was handled by Tony Brown except "Live with Jesus", which was produced by Paul Kennerley.
Wynonna received mostly favorable reviews from music critics upon its release and became one of the best selling country albums of all time by a female artist. All of the album's four singles topped either the Billboard or Radio & Records country airplay charts, with "I Saw the Light" becoming the number one country song of 1992 according to Billboard. The album has gone on to become certified 5× platinum in the United States and is to date, Wynonna's best selling album.
