hi chain. Even though I got the theme right away, I didn't think I would do the easy job of this. 

"Beyond Nashville" Immediately made me think of country music, sure enough, I saw the word country written from top to bottom. I ADDED A STAR TO MAKE IT COUNTRYSTARS AND I WAS AWAY.

The problem was that I thought I'd really struggle because I didn't know anything about country music. 

But in fact, with cash as my first real answer, I set myself up nicely to pull out Paisley (no idea) and that in turn Brooks (the only left hill on the left (not a clue) had a side.

On the right, I know Shania Twain, so it was an easy starter. I'm a freelancer, but sometimes I leave home, so I've heard of Taylor Swift as well.

It left the city to complete the puzzle. And if you can get over this without knowing too much about country music, there is hope for everyone...
