{{blockquote|''Gone Country'' uproots these seven musical celebrities and moves them into a Nashville mansion together to embark on a two-week adventure, hosted by singer-songwriter John Rich. Each celebrity will be paired up with some of Nashville's finest songwriters in an attempt to prepare them for a career in country music. In each episode, the cast competes against each other in challenges that will test them musically and physically to adapt to a country music lifestyle, both on and off the stage. At the end of the two weeks, the artist who is most prepared to impress a country audience, as determined by Rich, will record and release a song.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/gone-country/series_about.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080116131625/http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/gone-country/series_about.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 16, 2008 |title=About the Series |publisher=CMT |access-date=2012-07-03}}</ref>}}
