Wynonna & the Big NoiseWynonna & the Big Noise

Raw and unbowed, blues and rock and gospel grinding against hard country, Wynonna's bluesy wails carrying the high-lonesome ache of her Kentucky roots. "Things That I Lean On" goes sparse and tender, a hushed duet with Jason Isbell. "Ain't No Thing" rolls out greasy, groove-heavy swamp rock with Susan Tedeschi's earthy harmonies riding shotgun. The band cut it live to vintage ribbon mics, no digital polish, with her husband producing far from Nashville. She called it her tantrum record, and you can hear the fire.
