Wynonna Judd’s Excitement Over Jelly Roll’s Cover Of “Love Can Build A Bridge”

Wynonna Judd said she was blown away by Jelly Roll's cover of the Judds "Love Can Build a Bridge." It's easy to hear why. The collaboration between Jelly Roll, K. Michelle, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers has created a powerful rendition that connects deeply with fans of country music. This new version of the classic song not only honors its roots but also brings a fresh perspective that resonates with audiences today.

The "Need a Favor" singer teamed up with K. Michelle and the Fisk Jubilee Singers for the final song on A Tribute to the Judds. They close the 14-song covers album with the last song Naomi Judd would ever perform live, and while the new version stays true to the original, it's its own kind of revival. The soft piano notes that kick off the track introduce Jelly Roll's gritty vocals, setting the stage for a soulful tribute.

As the song progresses, layers of vocals and production are added, transforming it into a soaring homage to the Country Music Hall of Fame singers. R&B singer K. Michelle takes the second verse of "Love Can Build a Bridge," and the Fisk Jubilee Singers join in shortly after. Their collaboration is reminiscent of their memorable performance at the 2023 CMT Awards, where Jelly Roll and the group wowed the audience together.

Wynonna Judd expressed her admiration for Jelly Roll's rendition, stating that it "blew her mind," highlighting her enthusiasm for his artistry. Both Jelly Roll and K. Michelle are set to perform this song at the upcoming 2023 CMA Awards on November 8, adding to the excitement surrounding this collaboration. With more performers expected to be announced soon, fans are eagerly anticipating the event.

Talking to Taste of Country, Judd reiterated her fandom for Jelly Roll, emphasizing the impact of his music on her. In addition to this noteworthy collaboration, interest in Naomi Judd's elegant rural estate, which has recently come up for rent, has also captured attention, showcasing the lasting legacy of the Judd family in country music.
