Watched on AmazonPrime.

No songs on the Soundtracks; plenty onscreen.

Dreadfully dull rom-dram with preachy (scripture) voice-over. Music is country-pop-ish. Handsome leading man covers his suave with huge horrid beard, so they can streak it with grey to show aging.

He falls for sweet/pure girl not interested in music, woos her, they marry. He goes on the road, has a flashy female opening act with designs on him. His trips home are tense. Wife is withholding. Eventually the other woman beds him, and wife finds out. They split up for a while, but he sees the error of his ways and woos her back. <yawn^2>

Avoid.

Rated 6.0 (1,904)
