During this beautiful tribute, Lainey Wilson & Dolly Parton sing, “Mama He’s Crazy” duet to honor The Judds.

Lainey is an upcoming country singer, very similar to the style of Dolly. They are both unique in their voices, but have such a similar tone. The two sopranos singing together is stunning. It is so easy to listen to these storytellers. This song has an old-school style, blended with a modern twist. It is the perfect combination and tribute. 

Naomi and Wynonna Judd originally released “Mama He’s Crazy” on their 1984 album Why Not Me. This mother/daughter duo were powerhouse country stars in the 80s. Sadly, Naomi Judd passed away in 2022. It is heartbreaking to grieve losses. Death is not easy, and in this song, Lainey and Dolly sing their best to honor the Judds after such a devastating time.

The comical and lighthearted song celebrates a time in Naomi’s life of happiness and fun with her daughter. The chorus sings:

Mama, he's crazy, crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be

The lyrics are about a young woman in love telling her mom about a special man who has won her heart. She describes him and celebrates his love. It is cheerful and such a special song about a mother/daughter bond. This song encompasses the type of strong relationship and friendship that Naomi had with Wynonna. 

Maybe God has blessed you with a family relationship that is close like the Judds. As you listen to Dolly and Lainey sing this incredible song, take a minute to reflect on the gift of family and friendship. Although you may have grief and loss, there is celebration in the reflection of the blessing of our loved ones from God.
