Country music is exploding in popularity in Britain and music fan Rob Brydon, who once topped the charts with his own take on a country classic (Barry) Islands in the Stream, with Gavin and Stacey co-star Ruth Jones, is hitting the road on a round trip of America's southern states in search of the people, places and culture where country music roots run deep. He'll be meeting the stars, hanging out with locals and immersing himself in the way of life.

It's an entertaining, fascinating and laughter filled exploration of country music, past and present, during which Rob discovers its origins, the secrets to its longevity and what led to its recent global explosion all set against the epic backdrop of the American south.
