Travis Howard, who plays The Sugar Boys' bass player Dusty Ray, was a contestant on the first season of Nashville Star, a reality competition show that searches for promising country singers.
According to an interview in Tennessean.com, Danny Pino (Scotty Valens) introduced executive producer Meredith Stiehm (who also wrote the episode) to Tim McGraw's music. Pino had a role in the 2006 movie Flicka with McGraw. Ms. Stiehm became such a fan of McGraw that she decided to base an episode on his music.
Tamara Braun (Edie Lowe) is the second actress to have played the character of Carly Benson Corinthos on the long-running soap opera General Hospital. Sarah Brown, who originated the character, had a recurring role as Det. Josie Sutton in Season 3 of Cold Case.
