By Mary Campbell NEW YORK (AP) The Judds, the mother-daughter team that bounded out of nowhere to country music stardom less than five years ago, win get their rags-to-riches story told in a fan special on CBS. "People win have a chance to see us on the road and see what it's like to go through what we're going through, the pressures of being so close professionally and personally," says Wynonna Judd, 24.

"We filmed, all day long yesterday in Colesburg, Ky, where Mama's brother, who's a Baptist preacher, has a smaU church." As the Judds toured on the country music circuit this summer, TV cameras followed them to New York, Iowa, California and Tennessee. Naomi Judd, who is 18 years older than her daughter but looks more like her daughter's sister, says, "The image we have right now is that we're almost joined at the lips. We share a common bond in music. We're alike in a lot of ways, but we're very different The director thinks that's interesting enough to gate in depth." The Judds popped into country music prominence in 1981 While Wy-norma was in high school, they had tag and acoustic-guitar playing and Naomi's harmonizing and the family image they wanted to project Live audition "We got signed at a live audition," Naomi says. "We didnt have biographies or photographs, had never had a band or played in public" A deal was made with Curb Records and RCA.
