Wynonna Unveils Soulful Rendition of ‘Beautiful Star of Bethlehem’

Legendary country artist and performer Wynonna gifts fans with an intimate and heartfelt rendition of The Judds’ classic Christmas tune, “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.” The new solo version, released by the music icon, encapsulates an enchanting musical journey that resonates with the spirit of the season.

Revisiting a Sentimental Classic

Reflecting on the timeless song, Wynonna shares, “‘Beautiful Star of Bethlehem’ holds a special place in my heart—it’s one of the first Christmas melodies I recall singing with Mom.” Originally recorded in 1987 for ‘Christmas Time with The Judds,’ the song remains a cherished memory for Wynonna. Revisiting it after 35 years, alongside her husband and producer, Cactus Moser, has been a poignant and meaningful experience. Wynonna describes the re-recording as “rootsy & raw, reminiscent of a cozy fireside sing-along.”

Christmas at the Opry’ Special

Mark your calendars for December 7 at 8/7c as Wynonna takes center stage to host NBC’s ‘Christmas at the Opry’ special. This festive happening promises captivating performances from a star-studded lineup including Kelly Clarkson, Chrissy Metz from ‘This Is Us,’ Mickey Guyton, Trace Adkins, and more. For those who miss the initial airing, the special will also re-air on December 20 at 9/8c.

From Iconic Collaborations to a Solo Journey

Wynonna’s solo career, catalyzed by her 1992 self-titled debut album, solidified her as a dominant force in American music. Beyond the accolades—five GRAMMY Awards, multi-platinum albums, and sold-out tours—the country and soulful vocalist expanded beyond the Appalachian roots of The Judds. Her musical prowess traversed unexpected terrains, landing her not only in the Top 5 dance/club hits but also securing a spot in the esteemed Country Music Hall of Fame.
