The Judds Reunion Live is the second live album by American country duo The Judds. It was released on May 9, 2000, in conjunction with Curb Records and Mercury Records. It was produced by Larry Strickland and contained a total of 23 tracks. Reunion Live was the duo's second live effort issued in their career and their first album as a duo in almost ten years.

Background and content

The Judds were among country music's most successful recording artists during the 1980s, having 14 number one singles on the country chart. In 1991, the duo parted ways after Naomi Judd was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Instead, Wynonna Judd embarked on a successful solo career as Naomi recovered. By the late 1990s, Naomi's disease went into remission and the mother-daughter duo briefly re-united.[2] Together, the duo recorded their first album since their departure at a concert held in Phoenix, Arizona on December 31, 1999.[1]

The Judds Reunion Live was produced by Larry Strickland, a musician and the husband of Naomi Judd. It was Strickland's first time producing an album by the duo.[3] The album comprised 23 tracks, which were all recorded live at the December 31 concert. Eight of the album's tracks were hits performed solely by Wynonna Judd. "I Saw the Light," "She Is His Only Need" and "Rock Bottom" are some of the Wynonna songs featured. The remaining tracks were performed by The Judds. The album featured most of their biggest hits, such as "Mama He's Crazy," "Why Not Me" and "Rockin' with the Rhythm of the Rain."[3]
