For this week's "On the Record: Playing Tricks," fans are offered a special behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creative process surrounding Charles Esten's character, Deacon Clayborne, as he continues to pursue his comeback as a solo artist. In interviews with songwriters Striking Matches and Adam Wright, "Nashville's" music supervisor Frankie Pine, music producer Buddy Miller and the song's performer Charles Esten, fans can hear and understand firsthand how important each week's featured song is to the story line.

"We were looking for something up tempo for Deacon and this was his "out-door, on-stage, rocking it" song. It had that incredible hook that kind of draws you in and once you hear it one time you can automatically sing it," shared Pine.

"I'm just so grateful for these writers and their brains that come up with this genius stuff that I get to not only sing, but act like my character wrote it," said Esten.

"We were looking for a song for Deacon to just find his way back to playing guitar. Chip can sing and can deliver a song, so I was really happy to get a song that Chip could sink his teeth into," added Miller.

"Nashville" airs WEDNESDAY, DECEMEBER 11 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) with a new episode and new music.
