Pure Country The reason country music is so accepted amongst the lowly ranks is because the number of strings on an acoustic guitar is the highest number that fans can count to. However, it's not his followers' idiocy that drives the singer in this drama to abandon his stage act. While on tour, a country star, Dusty (George Strait), frustrated with the commercialization of the industry, decides to walk away from his overblown stage show. Later, a local farm girl (Lesley Ann Warren) helps Dusty get reacquainted with his rural beginnings, and, in turn, he helps save her ranch. A hokey honky tonk tale accompanied by toe-tapping ditties, Pure Country distills the genre down to its purest form and embraces it. And while a lot of country music fans would like to see the genre return to its Southern roots, it's unlikely that radio stations will start playing anti-Yankee or pro-slavery songs. (Yellow Light)
