Why Not Me is the first studio album by American country duo the Judds, released by RCA Records in 1984.
Contents
Why Not Me includes the duo's first Billboard number one single on the Country music charts, "Mama He's Crazy". That single was first released on their 1983 EP release The Judds: Wynonna & Naomi. Three more singles from the album reached number 1 on the country charts: "Why Not Me", "Girls Night Out", and "Love Is Alive".
The song "Why Not Me" went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1986, as did "Mama He's Crazy" in 1985.
The album was produced by Brent Maher and arranged by Don Potter. Maher and Potter have had a hand in each Judds' album.
