In Alabama, he meets soulful vocal trio Chapel Hart, walks in the footsteps of Rosa Parks, learns about country music pioneer Hank Williams Sr from his grandson Sam Williams, has a bite at local Montgomery institution Chris' Famous Hotdogs. In Tupelo, Mississippi, he visits the birthplace of Elvis Presley, before continuing on to Memphis for a tour of the legendary Sun Studio.

Returning to Nashville, Rob joins the 9th annual Nashville Elvis Festival - a four-day extravaganza packed with Elvis impersonators from all over the world, taking to the stage for his very own Elvis tribute. He meets country music superstar Lainey Wilson to chat about the future of country music, and finally, he steps onto the stage of the Grand Ole Opry to share the story of his journey with a live audience.
