Wynonna - The Hard Truth

Wynonna — The Hard Truth

Music icon Wynonna knows that pain threaded with joy is the sound of survival. On her 2026 release The Hard Truth, her first studio album for Anti- Records, she isn't letting go of either one, carrying everything she's endured and reinventing herself as an artist. Her first time co-writing an album, Wynonna's voice and story are highlighted alongside special guests that are incredible storytellers in their own right — Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers, The War And Treaty, and Iron & Wine. 

On lead single "Kentucky Queen," Wynonna returns to her childhood roots as an adult in triumph, recalling her aunt's warning to "watch where the devil hides," whooping with delight as she reclaims her home state and the parts of the past that saved her. The song highlights the traditional instruments that shape the record as a whole, as Wy's voice soars over the steam-engine rhythm section carrying listeners along.
