Yes "Hart of Dixie" is a show on The CW. It isn't badly written, acted, directed, etc., despite the core audience of the network. But what has me leaving it on my recording list while dumping "Ringer" and "The Secret Circle" is the music.
I'm including links to Amazon's site so you can sample each one though most are also available through iTunes and other sources.
Unlike everything else on The CW all the music is great Southern/Country/Blues/Folk. Here's from the pilot's playlist:
Anyway, if the other elements of the show stay about as good as or better then the pilot, than the sound track may keep it in our record list all season.
I'm going to continue to do this in case someone else is interested. Here's the Episode 2 Parades and Pariahs music list which, if you like Great Southern/Country/Blues/Folk music, is the real reason to watch a show that is a bit of charming fluff, not bad, but definitely not an Emmy nominee:
10,000 Stones by Adrianne, a USA Songwriting Competition Grand Prize Winner and raspy voiced singer-songwriter who is very reminiscent of a Sheryl Crow or Bonnie Raitt, both of whom have recorded her songs or collaborated with her.
Bitter & Sweet by Chris Lawson Jones, a British independent singer-songwriter brought up on on bluegrass, alt-country and all things Americana who packed up his belongings and relocated from London to Nashville.
I would love to watch this show as I like the sound of the story line and definitely like Rachel Bilson from her short stint on Chuck in Season 2 but it's not on in HD here so that kills it for me.
Fletcher by Blitzen Trapper, Portland, Oregon-based experimental alternative country/folk group that in 2008 had an album ranked #13 on Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2008 from which the title track was ranked #4 on the magazine's Best Singles of 2008.
I'm Southern by The Cadillac Black, the group's second song to appear on the series.
I'm happy the show has been picked up for a full season as it will allow for a great playlist. Here's the list from episode 3:
Little Lie by Lindi Ortega, a Canadian singer-songwriter and musician, known for her voice that has been described as a blend of Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Emmylou Harris called "Toronto's best kept secret" (I'm linking to the album and suggest playing the second track to understand the Dolly Parton reference).
West Virginia Baby by James River Station, one of only seven country acts in all of Southern California chosen for the TEXACO COUNTRY SHOWDOWN, where they performed at KNOTTS BERRY FARM; Out of thousands of performers and acts, James River Station was chosen by GOCOUNTRY 105fm listeners and program directors (song not yet available but can be heard on ReverbNation here.
Also there was a song out of the genre, Reluctance by Keegan Dewitt, a young film composer, singer-songwriter and actor.
Stomp and Holler by Hayes Carll, a Texas Country singer-songwriter whose album Little Rock became the first self-released album to reach number one on the Americana music charts
That Phone by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, a well known group but Grace Potter and Kenny Chesney's duet "You and Tequila" is nominated for Single of the Year - Vocal Collaboration at the American Country Awards
Lead Me Home by FM Radio
I'm sorry to say, I cannot find any links to the last song. In fact, neither I nor other sources I use can find anything about the group or the song. A search on either or both pretty much ends up with too much. There are many songs with the same name. And a search on "FM Radio" cranks out thousands of results. I'm setting up a Google Search should more appear on the interwebs specific to the song and group and "Hart of Dixie", but if anyone can find anything post it here.
Ok, fortunately someone posted this on YouTube as the interweb is beginning to grumble over the fact that no one can find this song (and the view ain't bad neither :grin.
Glorify by Ivan & Alyosha, a folk-pop, indie, rock band from Seattle, Washington, and were named one of NPR's top 100 of the 2010 South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival.
The Possibilities by Tim Myers is not available; he is an American singer, songwriter and musician who played bass in the band OneRepublic from 2004-2007.
And I'll be darned if the "duo" FM Radio that did Lead Me Home by FM Radio in Episode #4 is Tim Myers and Schuyler Fisk. Here's their FM Radio MySpace page. And according to a post on their Facebook Page, they will be releasing Lead Me Home soon.
I would love to watch this show as I like the sound of the story line and definitely like Rachel Bilson from her short stint on Chuck in Season 2 but it's not on in HD here so that kills it for me.
It is in SD for me here too. But I like the show enough to put up with it. It is such a sweet, sappy show of the sort you don't see much, or at least I haven't, for a long time.

Yep, SD for us too. Each year we have a show that allows us to dig our way out from under all the dead bodies piling up from the crime solving procedurals and simply enjoy light, fluffy drama. This year its "Hart of Dixie." Plus the sound track is really different.

Sorry, but my memory is that of an old person and it's now been almost two weeks since the most recent episode has aired.... However, if you go to the Tunefind web page you may get enough description to get your answer.

Wordy Rappinghood by Tom Tom Club, also definitely not a country duo, The Tom Tom Club was created by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth in 1981 who as graduates from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1974, moved to New York City where they founded Talking Heads as a trio with David Byrne in 1975.
I guess I used "soon" in my last post a little like Dish Network uses the word. But I will get the rest of these done this week as the last episode had some really great music.
