Watched online, mediocre print, which looked fs.
Only 2 songs in the Soundtracks, but dozens were performed onscreen.
This is a countrysploitation film, with precious little plot.
The plot was silly and badly executed: AS is a country music fan; his wife likes opera. She's a social climber who wants to make points by bringing an opera to Nashville. But the company she hired bails out, so AS gathers a bunch of country acts, readily available in Nashville.
HH & LG are her helpers, mostly handling brooms at the theatre.
The only country act familiar to me was Minnie Pearl. A couple of acts got cute, imitating their more famous brethren, like Johnny Cash.
Country music is too much about heartache, mostly caused by cheatin'. And the lyrics tell all the details. Not my favorite. One of the songs near the beginning was a little livelier, but the vast majority were exactly what the film title advertised.
