Even though set in Nashville, no filming actually took place there.
The story is set in the Nashville country music scene and the cast is studded with real country singers (Jimmy Dean, Mickey Gilley)as well as actors who can sing but aren't known for it (Jeri Gaile, Brandon Taggert). Also in the cast is Florence Henderson who plays a country singer but isn't known for that particular singing style. Instead, Florence is best known for musical theatre, including Broadway shows "Wish You Were Here," "Oklahoma," "Fanny," and "The Girl Who Came to Supper".
