Fans praise Wynonna Judd for national anthem at Kentucky Derby: 'Beautiful, beautiful job'

Wynonna Judd took to the stage Saturday at the 150th Kentucky Derby to sing the national anthem accompanied only by her longtime drummer and husband, Cactus Moser.

The Kentucky native's performance came just days after the second anniversary of her mother Naomi Judd's death.
