Goin' Country is a reality show, produced by Wes Whatley with Orion Multimedia, that began airing Sunday mornings at nine in August 2010 on the Versus channel.
It follows former American Idol contestant Kristy Lee Cook and is centered on hunting and her search for a new recording contract.
The pilot episode of the show first aired May 22, 2010 and featured Cook hunting Texas white-tail deer and writing a new song in Nashville.
[2] Cook was joined on the show by family, friends and celebrity guests, including fellow former American Idol contestant Blake Lewis, and country music singers Jake Owen and Aaron Tippin.
[3] The show has drawn the ire of PETA who issued a statement referring to it as her "Fifteen Minutes of Shame" and suggesting she should instead follow in the footsteps of fellow American Idol alumni Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood and Simon Cowell who PETA says have used their fame and talent to speak up for animals.
