Notes & Personnel Info |  | The Judds: Naomi Judd, Wynonna Judd (vocals). | | Additional personnel: Don Potter (conductor, acoustic guitar); Mark Casstevens, Craig Bickhardt (guitar); Sonny Garrish (steel guitar, dobro); David Schnaufer (dulcimer); Kirk "Jelly Roll" Johnson (harmonica); Bobby Ogdin (piano, organ); Craig Nelson (acoustic bass); Jack Williams (bass); Eddie Bayers (drums); Farrell Morris (percussion); The Jordanaires, Emmylou Harris (background vocals). | | Recorded at Creative Workshop, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee. | | One of the Judds' most successful releases, fourth album HEART LAND finds them smack dab in the middle of their commercial and artistic peak period. It spawned no less than three Number One country hits in the jubilant, hip-shaking "I Know Where I'm Going," the slow-burning, soulful "Maybe Your Baby's Got the Blues," and the bluesy, good-time "Turn It Loose," with a peppy cover of the Elvis Presley classic "Don't Be Cruel" following close behind. Throughout the album, the close harmonies of Naomi Judd and her daughter Wynonna create one of the most distinctive sounds to come out of Nashville in that era, while the arrangements seamlessly mix country, pop, and rock & roll flavors together, with consistent, hitmaking results. |
