In the first episode of this exciting two-parter, Jane heads for Nashville's famous Honky Tonk Highway. With wall-to-wall bars and bands playing around the clock, it's a great introduction to music city. A few blocks away, Jane visits one of Nashville's top attractions, the iconic Ryman Auditorium, known as the mother church of country music. Nashville also has a burgeoning food scene and Jane opts for a place loved by the locals to try traditional southern meat and three veg.
Nearby, at Centennial Park, Jane is left speechless by Nashville's very own Parthenon - the world's only full-size replica, celebrating the city's nickname as the Athens of the South. But night-time is when Nashville comes alive, and Jane joins the crowds at Nashville Palace to try line dancing.
Back downtown, Jane visits another tourist attraction - the Country Music Walk of Fame. How many stars will she know? Nashville is also the hub of a world-renowned music industry and Jane takes us behind-the-scenes at the studio where she is recording her country album. It's a nerve-wracking time, as she steps out of her music comfort zone to embrace a genre she grew up with and loves.
Exploring Tennessee, Jane takes a trip out of town to Lynchburg, home of the Jack Daniel's Whiskey Distillery. It's a chance to learn about the history of the drink she loves, take in the peaceful countryside and once again enjoy that good ole southern hospitality.
So far, Nashville has been everything and more. Is this northern lass becoming a southern country gal?
