The actress learned to play all of the songs in the movie, and also sings four songs on the soundtrack - including a duet with Tim McGraw, who plays her manager in the film.

The soundtrack, which is being released by RCA Records, also features a duet with Chris Young and Patty Loveless as well tracks by Trace Adkins, Lee Ann Womack, Faith Hill, Sara Evans and Ronnie Dunn.
