Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Grady is a young farming boy who likes playing his guitar and singing along. Unfortunately his conservative uncle Kermit doesn't approve of this. On a trip into town Kermit loses all the family's money in a poker game. To get the family back on their feet Grady reluctantly records a song for a local TV show. This throws him head-first into the crazy and upside-down world of show business, much to Kermit's dismay! Written by Shane Rothery |

| Goofs | Although the film is set outside Nashville, Tennessee, the hills in the background are clearly those of Southern California, most likely Malibu Creek State Park, not those found in Tennessee. See more » |
