10:00 P.M. (CMT) UNSUNG STORIES Many a country song has sprung from a kernel of truth. That’s the premise behind this new series in which professional songwriters take a real event and transform it into lyrics and music. First up, “Jake’s Goin’ All the Way,” an anthem by Jeffrey Steele and Keith Anderson (above right, with Mr. Steele) about a developmentally disabled teenager whose touchdown on a football field touched an entire community.
