Judd has stayed in the ring for quite some time never losing his itch to perform, but also admitted when it was time for a reset. Judd took time off from his music to take to the airwaves as a nationally-syndicated on-air talent for iHeart radio.

He has maintained a loyal fan base and remains an industry favorite as well.

In close ties to the late, great Toby Keith, Judd’s tribute, “Gonna Miss You Old Friend,” showcased his heart and authentic love and appreciation for one of his best friends, which prompted a viral moment. This moment displayed the deep bond they shared, resonating with fans worldwide and highlighting Judd's ability to connect with his audience on a profoundly emotional level. “I do have a soul, and do love my friends and family more than anything. This one hurt, badly,” says Judd. (See here: "Gonna Miss You Ole Friend" ). You might remember Judd in the Toby Keith / Willie Nelson flick “Beer For My Horses.”
