WYNONNA has been working with Cactus Moser, her husband, producer and drummer of The Big Noise, on material for her 8th studioalbum, due out February2016 on Curb Records. The pair debuted some of the new songs earlier this year during their at-capacity show as part of the SXSW Music Festival. NPR’s Ann Powers was in the crowd and noted: “The Nashville superstar is in transition, moving from studio-polished pop to a rawer, more intimate style in a small combo anchored by her husband and producer, Cactus Moser, on drums. Wynonna shared material from her upcoming album and reworked major hits like ‘She Is His Only Need’ with clean arrangements that highlighted her still-extraordinary voice…[she] belted out notes that would have made Aretha Franklin weep. ‘I was named after Wynonie Harris, so I’m blues on the inside,’ she declared before delivering a face-melting version of Robert Johnson’s ‘Crossroads.’ Wynonna let it all hang out tonight. It was clear she can get wherever she wants to go.” (3/21/15).
