Pure Country (soundtrack)

The Pure Country soundtrack is the music album accompanying the 1992 film Pure Country, starring George Strait. Released by MCA Records on September 15, 1992, it primarily features songs performed by Strait, who also stars in the film as country music singer Dusty Chandler. The soundtrack consists primarily of original songs written for the film, capturing a traditional country sound that contrasts with the pop-influenced direction Chandler's character initially takes.

The album was a massive commercial success, spawning several hit singles, including "I Cross My Heart," "Heartland," and "Where the Sidewalk Ends." It topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200. It has been certified 6x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), signifying shipments of over six million copies. The Pure Country soundtrack is widely regarded as one of the most successful country movie soundtracks of all time and significantly contributed to Strait's already established popularity, solidifying his status as a country music icon.
