For years Wynonna Judd thought her father was Michael Charles Ciminella, who is the biological father of her sister Ashley. However she learned in the 90's that her father was actually a man named Charles Jordan. Over the years Wynonna discovered that he also fathered a son with a different woman. His name is Michael, and she reached out to him by phone on his birthday. She didn't say if they made plans to meet up or not. Wynonna never met her biological father. He died a month before she planned to meet him in 2000.

Brett Young fans won't have to wait much longer for a new album.

Since the pandemic started, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has lost an estimated $35 million in revenue. To help raise money, the staff came up with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity called Big Night at the Museum. More than a dozen artists were given the opportunity to play an instrument originally owned by one of their heroes, to cover a song of their choice. It's very rare that these priceless and delicate instruments are taken out of their cases. Big Night at the Museum premieres on YouTube on Wednesday night at 9pm. It's free to watch, but donations to the Hall of Fame are encouraged.
