NASHVILLE, TN (March 8, 2017) – As CMT fans continue to mourn the death of “Nashville” star Rayna Jaymes, they can now relive her biggest hits from the critically-acclaimed television series through a new Spotify playlist honoring the late Country superstar.

Actress Connie Britton brought the character of Rayna to life throughout all five seasons of the show, written by Academy Award-winning Callie Khouri and produced by ABC Studios and Lionsgate. As the music partner for “Nashville,” Big Machine Records released all of the cast’s songs heard throughout the series to date and has now compiled a fan playlist on Spotify titled Remembering Rayna Jaymes. Listen here: http://smarturl.it/RememberingRayna.

On playing the role of Rayna, Britton remarked, “…all the brilliant songwriters who gave Rayna a voice. There was no music, and no Rayna, without you. You made Rayna. You supported her and loved her and gave her inspiration just as she was able to inspire you. You were the energy source, the power behind her heart and soul and life. Rayna lived for you. And, from the depths of my heart, I thank you, for her and for me. It has been an honor to be a part of that creation. And as I know she would want it, the show must, and will go on. Long live Rayna Jaymes.” Read the full message here.
