Nashville - The Complete Second Season

There's a city that's full of unknown musicians who spend their days working a minimum wage job and their nights in small, nearly empty bars with guitars in their arms and their hearts on their sleeves. It seems that everyone in Nashville is an artist, helping us to access our deepest feelings while desperately trying to run away from her own.

As country music sensations, Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) and Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) have reached heights that most of us can only dream of, but success is something that tends to teeter, always threatening to fall.

Juliette is country music's answer to J.R. Ewing. Her ambition is boundless and she'll stop at nothing to move ahead. But this season, just as she's about to break free from her image as a bubble gum pop star and tween sensation, a scandal threatens to ruin her.

Rayna, meantime, starts out in a coma with her singing voice destroyed. Her life can only go up. Yet her artistic soul, and her daughter's paternity, are forever bound to the lost artist and recovering alcoholic Deacon (Charles Esten).

Scarlett O'Conner is no longer a waitress, and she struggles with the burden of success, while Gunner Scott (Sam Palladio) fights with the weight of never quite making it there.

Then there's Will Lexington who has knockout looks and rising fame, but will never be able to write his own music because he isn't honest with himself, hiding his true identity in the closet.

Everyone is beautiful, and everyone is an artist with a heartache to sing about and a secret to keep silent, in "Nashville: The Complete Second Season."

The Bonus Features in this 5-disk DVD collection include the usual bloopers and deleted scenes. But the "Nashville: On The Record" Music Special is a real treat. With the show's hit songs in a live performance at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium, it also has backstage conversations with the cast, songwriters and musicians.
