20 songs in the Soundtracks, some performed by cast onscreen, country flavor, not my fave.
I prob'ly shouldn't rate this b/c I dozed off and didn't go back. But what I saw before and after is consistent. Seems like this is more schmaltz about a performer who ran from his hometown, leaving his fiancee at the altar (pregnant, unknown to both). Then in the middle of a tour he gets the itch to go home, and finds the unknown 7yo daughter. He's treated with awe and adoration everywhere but that hometown, where even his father sides with the fiancee. Dad had tried to tell him about the daughter, but couldn't get through the superstar barrier. Ends with a wedding, everyone beaming. <eyeroll>
