Gwyneth Paltrow is ready to remind hubby Chris Martin that she can carry a tune, too.

The Oscar winner, who last gave her pipes a workout in 2000's Duets, will be harmonizing with Leighton Meester and Tim McGraw in the big-screen country musical Love Don't Let Me Down, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Expect to hear the stars sing their own music in the story of a down-on-her-luck songbird (Paltrow) who tries a comeback with the help of her husband-manager (McGraw), a beauty queen turned singer (Meester) and a gifted songwriter (Friday Night Lights' Garrett Hedlund). That is, if the backstage drama doesn't tear them apart.

Tobey Maguire is producing the flick, though he's not expected to have a role. Shana Feste, a favorite from last year's Sundance, is writing and directing, with cameras set to roll next month in Nashville.
