This little movie makes the list of my top 20 favorites. Not really profound but very entertaining and filled with interesting characters. After a time in Nashville, I was convinced that there was no such thing as a "Country" musician because of the constant blending of styles and musical backgrounds. This movie points out that process very well with a Country band consisting of a Jazz drummer, Rock guitarist, Classical pianist/arranger, and Country leader. One reason I rank it so high is the presence of real musicians and the quality of their performance. Another is my natural gratitude for the introduction to Lisa Brokop. It's ensconced on my TIVO wish list with an auto-record any time it's shown!

I love this movie!!! It made me want to give up opera and be a country singer. Lisa Brokop has a beautiful voice, the acting is great, the dialog is real, the characters are all fully-developed, the photography is beautifully done, and the music is wonderful. I had never heard of this before I saw it in 1996, but as a lover of classical music growing up in southern Oklahoma (the bastion of country music), thought it sounded interesting. Highly, highly recommended.

We chanced on this movie on Tuesday evening, April 30, 2002, never having heard anything about it, and found a really professionally made little movie, with great photography, fine country music and wonderfully realistic dialogue. We couldn't understand why it never had general distribution, except perhaps for the fact that it didn't have any "big" names. The leading lady, Lisa Brokop, as a country singer, has a beautiful voice. The writing is tight, characters very well drawn and directed, and in short the film was wonderful entertainment, with an unexpected happy ending. For stars we would give it 5, in competition with other low-budget productions.
