Capitalising on the momentum built by their final arena tour in the UK, a DVD has been released of the Nashville Cast’s performance at the Royal Albert Hall last year. Available in online stores now, the DVD offers Nashville fanatics a huge 193-minute run-time with bonus features ‘Nashville In London’ as well as ‘The Songs Of Nashville’, in which the cast speak in detail about some of their favourite songs from the show and the stories behind them.
It really is a must-have for avid fans of the TV show, and of course for anyone who was in attendance for that very special night at the Royal Albert Hall to re-live the memories. It features a rollercoaster of a show from Charles Esten, Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio, Jonathan Jackson and Chris Carmack, packed full of the usual fan favourites alongside a selection of original material from the immensely talented group.
The likes of ‘What If I Was Willing’, ‘Borrow My Heart’, ‘Fade Into You’ and ‘Black Roses’ have become iconic masterpieces from the Nashville soundtrack, and you’ll find every one of those here, sparking a rapturous reaction from the adoring London crowd. Adding a bit of variety, we have Sam Palladio’s ‘Wake Me Up In Nashville’, Charles Esten’s ‘He Ain’t Me’, Jonathan Jackson’s cover of ‘The Killing Moon’ and more, showcasing their individual artistry and proving that they’re all destined for future musical successes now that the show has reached the end of its course.
Always the highlight of a Nashville concert is the spine-tingling encore ‘A Life That’s Good’, where the whole cast come together for one last performance. With the audience providing a wonderful choir, lighting up their phones too, it encapsulates the magic of the TV show and it’s a moment for reflection on the impact the show has made on country music in the UK. It’ll be sadly missed, but we’ll definitely be seeing a lot more of the cast, some of whom have announced UK solo shows already for later this year.
Make sure you grab a copy of the DVD; whether it be for your own pleasure or as a gift to a fellow Nashville super-fan, it’s a hugely enjoyable few hours of great music from a lovely group of people. Don’t miss out!
