Rainee Blake is a triple threat singer, songwriter, and actress who stars as Alannah Curtis on NashvilleCMT.  Born in Australia, Rainee currently resides in Los Angeles.   We love Rainee and we are so happy that she called us to talk about NashvilleCMT and her career. This is a must listen and afterwards go buy her music on Itunes or see her in person.   Thanks Rainee!!!!! Check out this episode!

We discuss the 14th episode of this season.  Only 2 episodes left 🙁           Songs: I’ll Waltz You Home—–Gideon   Itty Bitty Ditty——–Deacon   Treading Water———-Alannah Check out this episode!

We enjoyed this episode, although no Gunner and no Will. The acting by Charles Esten was outstanding once again.  There were some annoyances and that was mostly due to continuity errors and lack of detail.  Al and I still don’t think Gideon is as redeemed as he says he is.  Any chance Daphne gets voted out of Nashville’s Next?  Not a chance. Where did mean Juliette go this episode?  Thought for sure she was going to take Allanah or Avery to task. Scarlett is getting her mojo back.  She started to write a song.  Will she sing it with Gunner? Good to see Jessie!! Oh and Hallie is back. Songs Let Love In——-Hallie Fall to Fly——–Contestant #1  (Jenny Leigh) Without Warning———Daphne Conrad Check out this episode!

Wow! What a dramatic episode!  We can’t say enough about the acting jobs by Charles Esten and Ronny Cox in this episode. We could feel the pain from Deacon and his Dad Gideon.  We look forward to more scenes from these two actors. “Cliff Notes” summary.   Deacon’s Dad comes to town and says he is there just to start over. He doesn’t want a thing. After flashbacks and convincing by Maddie, Gideon ends up at Deacon and the girl’s house. Allanah is promised to be featured for Shiny New Records and Brad says he is negotiating a tour with the Lumineers (That’s so 2012).  Allanah is convinced (so are we) that Brad wants more than a professional relationship.  He acts like that Weinstein fella by having his secretary set up “meetings”. Allanah says no and all of a sudden the tour is cancelled. Scarlett convinces Sean to sing and causes more tension between Sean and his wife.  She makes amends by taking Sean home so Angela and Sean can talk.  Things go from bad to worse when Sean has a PTSD attack and threatens suicide.  Scarlett without any formal training gets called by the wife and she convinces Sean to live another day without ending his life. Will, Gunner and Avery add comic relief. Avery is caught in a compromising position when Juliette comes home from Camp Bolivia. Songs: Like New—–Deacon With You I’m Home——Sean ft.

Post vacation, this episode covers 10 and 11.  Instead of giving you guys the “Cliff Notes”, I’ll let the episode speak for itself.     Songs; 10 Love Goes On—Elise   Go——–Last Highway   Memories Crash—–Daphne   11 We Belong——Maddie Jaymes Duertmete Mi Nino—– Juliette Barnes Check out this episode!

We are back in the saddle and ready to bring you the last 8 episodes of NashvilleCMT.  We both enjoyed the episode but were a little disappointed that we got no Juliette. Brief synapses: After collapsing on stage, We find out that Will did not have a heart attack but he has a heart infection caused by his steroid use.  He is supposed to take it easy for a while which means no exercising and no touring with the band.  We quickly find out he has no intention of following doctor orders. Deacon and Jessie spend the entire episode trying to figure out the best way to handle Brad suing for full custody of Jake. Maddie and Jonah celebrate his birthday with a jealous Twig in the background.  Jonah hides the fact he is still in conversation with his ex–Mia.  This wont end well. Gunner is starting his clingy thing he always does with Alannah.  Instead of leveling with Gunner, she goes to check on a depressed Avery who is dealing with the fact his wife left him to join a cult.  Avery and Alannah get drunk and dance and flirt and both fall asleep. The paparazzi that are waiting for Avery, get a nice photo of her leaving his place and assume that Avery has moved on with his band mate.  Gunner sees this in social media and believes the same.  He confronts Avery and gets an accidental guitar to the nose for his troubles.  Boy, this wont end well either. In other news, we barely see Scarlett and Zach is back (he heard about Will). Maddie decides not to move out and leave Daphne and Deacon. Songs: Sorry Now——–Alannah Hard days (acoustic sans Will)——–Last Highway The Giver——————Avery My Turn—————-Will Check out this episode!

  After a long couple of weeks, we are back!! Fresh off our trip to Nashville, we discuss the last 2 episodes including the mid season finale. Allison & Joe both agree that episode 7 was a dud and we spend little time covering the “highlights”.  We do get into the mid-season finale heavily and also talk about the overall season so far and how this mid-season finale compares to other seasons.  We give our theories on how it all wraps up and what would make the ending satisfying.  This is definitely an extended episode you want to download or stream. Songs Smoking the Boys—-Allanah Unravel——Daphne Face the Sun—-Deacon Dear Fear—–Daphne Bring Me an Angel——Sean Hard Days—-The Last Highways Check out this episode!

Oh Gunnar! What have you done?  We talk about episode 6 entitled ‘Beneath Still Waters’.  We both liked the episode and thought the Jessie and Daphne scene stole the episode. @KaitlinDDay was our episode MVP.   Cliff Notes—Alannah is a social media hit. Avery and Gunnar decide that she should play a bigger role but Will is not too keen on the idea and cares only about his “vitamins”.  Avery has accepted that Juliette left to Bolivia.  Daphne is tired of being dragged around by Deacon and Jessie and gives a little sass at the Art Walk.  Deacon notices and vows to nip this in the bud.  Meanwhile at the Equine therapy center, Scarlett seems really interested in Sean-the army vet suffering from PTSD. So much so that she stalks him on social media where she finds a performance posted that really knocks her socks off. When she leaves the Last Highways show (presumable jealous of Gunnar), she sees a drunk Sean and invites him to sleep it off at her place. He cant listen to his own music anymore since his musical friend was killed in Kanduhar. She gives Sean advice–Who does it help if you give up what you love?  (take your own advise, please).  Alannah makes a move on Gunnar and because he is an idiot, he goes for it.  The next day at rehearsal, the others figure it out and while Gunnar says its casual, the other boys know better.  Deacons dinner with Jessie, Jake and Daphne goes about as well as one would expect, however, Jessie solves this issue by talking to Daphne and telling her she can never replace her Mom.  Scarlett gets validation as Sean sings the next day.   songs River Swimming—-Alannah Raised on A Song—-Scarlett Love is Loud—–The Last Highways The Only Way To Get There——Sean   Check out this episode!
