Wynonna and The Big Noise is her best work to date, according to the Grammy Award winner.

"I've changed and I am in a really, really good place," she said.

"After 33 years of being in the world of music, I can honestly say that I am still very much inspired by these songs and the stories of surviving really hard times and I continue to be a dreamer. I continue to believe that all things are possible. I was raised by a mother who always said you are not your circumstances and I believe that with all my heart."

It's been a hard few years for the artist after her drummer husband, Cactus Moser, had his left leg amputated below the knee after a motorcycle crash just months after they were married.

"I am coming from a place where is a lot of crap going on in the world, but I am not going to let it define who I am," Judd said.

The country music royalty said the self-titled album reflected what she had experienced and was true to herself as an artist and a person.

"I know now what I didn't know then," she said.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

This album was made with Moser in the driver's seat, who she calls the 'most positive person in the universe' and made in a shed live with the band.

"He said you're gonna sing, the band's gonna play and you're gonna have fun," Judd said.

"He said just sing like you're in a band and you're gonna do it because it's real. Do you know how scary that is? I had no intention of doing this record, but he challenged me to do what I was terrified to do. It was not that hard to be real and raw."

The country survivor said she thought it would be a nightmare fronting a band again, but she said, instead, she was having the time of her life.

Judd said she was more of an "adventurous girl" now and noticed that she took to the stage with "a different sense of self" these days.

"I am not afraid, I don't strive for perfection, I strive for excellence," she said.

"There is a difference and I learned it from elders like Johnny Cash and talking to Dolly and Loretta. Dolly said 'don't be famous, be a stylist' and 'say something that means something'. Country music is about the real world. I always tell young artists that if you're doing this because you want to be famous, you're doing it for the wrong reasons - you need to do it because you can't do without it."

Judd is now looking to return to Australia and assured fans she would stalk and hunt us all down for the chance to play in the country again. 

"Mum taught me how to be accessible. In country music we are real."
