Tell Me Why (1993) Revelations (1996) Collection (1997)

Revelations is the title of the third studio album released by American country music artist Wynonna Judd. Her first album since Tell Me Why three years previous, it was released in 1996 (see 1996 in country music) on MCA Records in association with Curb Records. The album's lead-off single, "To Be Loved by You", was her fourth and final Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. The second single, "Heaven Help My Heart", peaked at #14 on the same chart, while "My Angel Is Here" and "Somebody to Love You" both missed Top 40, becoming the first two singles of her career to do so. The album itself peaked at #2 on the Top Country Albums charts and #9 on The Billboard 200, and it achieved RIAA platinum certification.

The track "Free Bird" is a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, and was previously included on the 1994 tribute album Skynyrd Frynds. The track "Change the World" is more associated with Eric Clapton, who turned the same song into a worldwide hit in 1996; Wynonna did not release her version as a single.
