Trivia:
Garrett Hedlund auditioned at a karaoke bar in Koreantown singing a Pearl Jam song. According to the director Shana Feste, "It really wasn't the best showcase ever of his voice, but Garrett went to school for us. Literally, he took four months off and started learning how to play the guitar, took voice lessons, went to Nashville early, started working with Nathan Chapman, a record producer in Nashville who produces Miranda Lambert. I mean, he became a country singer."

User Review:
Critics are wrong
, rated: 8/10
I don't really like country music but I like Leighton Meester was
surprised by Gwyneth Paltrow's voice and thought Garrett Hedlund was
good in Tron. I read a few reviews and heard it was boring and cliché.
All I have to say about those reviews is ignore them they are wrong. I
thought Country Strong was a great film there were a couple parts in
the movie that moved a little slower than the rest of the film which
just catches you, but I thought it was a great movie. It's not some
great innovative thriller or some crazy take on a story; It's just a
really good story with fantastic acting and a good movie that could
bring a tear to your eye. I suggest you see it I just saw it a few
hours ago and want to see it again already.
