In Brief
* * George Strait, “Pure Country,” MCA. Strait has sprouted a scruffy 5 o’clock shadow for his feature film debut, but the music on this soundtrack album is as clean and stubble-free as ever. Strait fans probably will lap up every note-perfect lick, but some might prefer country music that’s a little less “pure,” and a lot more real.
