The show also tells Martina McBride's own unique story of six degrees which helped advance her from selling T-shirts for Garth Brooks to opening for him on stage to becoming one of Country music's biggest superstars.
Rodney Atkins, Ray Benson, Little Big Town, and Miranda Lambert all appear in the show.
The pilot program was produced for the ABC Television Network by the production team of ABC News Primetime. This program is the first of its kind. On July 27, 2007, executive producer David Sloan described the show as a "hybrid" to the Chicago Tribune: "ABC News is looking for new ways of interacting and engaging with the viewer. This represents that effort."
It aired on July 30, 2007 as an entire season compressed into one 2 hour broadcast, and DeAnne Roberts won the final competition. Thomas Stratton and Kristina Craig were the other two finalists.
On August 1, 2007 Sony BMG released all three finalists' singles digitally on iTunes.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
