Pure Country Movie

While country music stars Garth Brooks and Billy Ray Cyrus gallop over to the pop charts, traditionalist George Strait is pinning his hopes on a very different kind of cross-over dream. He's riding high in a hand-tooled star vehicle, a movie aptly titled "Pure Country," which just wrapped location filming in his native Texas. "Well, it is awful nice to be in a movie," Strait says in an interview, settling farther back into his favorite seat in his air-conditioned trailer.
