While accompanied by a drummer, Wynonna Judd performs a rootsy, well-received rendition of the national anthem here at the 150th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
She's still got one of the best voices in American music.

I don't know who sung the National Anthem at the Kentucky Derby but it was HORRIBLE.

A user pointed out that the camera was hardly on Judd during the televised performance.
