The Golden Globe nominations are out. Heidi and I are pretty big fans of the show Nashville, so we’re excited that Connie Britton got a best actress nod for her role on the show as (fictional) country music superstar Rayna James.

Here’s a little piece from Ann Powers about some of what makes Nashville great. Plus, it has a list of — and YouTube links to — some classic country duets that will make your life more complete.

And here’s the Fresh Air interview from when Britton was on another great show, Friday Night Lights.
