Music legend and entertainment icon Rayna Jaymes has been one of the industry’s top female vocalists for two decades. After working tirelessly to elevate her game, Rayna suddenly discovers her passion for the business is not enough to compete with the new generation of talent lighting up the charts. She is reluctant to accept the emerging trend in the business and refuses to be steamrolled by her longtime label, which she helped build. When they give her an offer she can’t refuse, Rayna is forced to accept the harsh reality that she’ll have to start over and reinvent herself if she plans on being relevant.

Juliette Barnes is sexy, sassy, and she’s got trouble written all over her. She’s the hottest act in the business and she’s not about to let anyone stand in the way of her success, much less Rayna James. On her way to the top, an even bigger set of circumstances will cast a shadow on her girl-next-door image. But Juliette is calculating, has an insatiable appetite for fame, and will do whatever it takes to leave her hard knocks past behind...

I love Nashville and I love country music. Connie Britton was denied an Emmy for her amazing performances in Friday Night Lights. It's a very interesting cast and they're going to get a lot of support from the entire Country world, including Country radio. Wondering if folks will accept Hayden Panettiere as what looks like, a Country Bitch. Sure, it's essentially a soap, but there's nothing wrong with that. I'm looking forward to it.
