PURE COUNTRY is the soundtrack to Strait's film debut, offering a variety of swinging shuffles, traditional honky tonk, weepy ballads and country rockers. He wears his influences proudly, and having been doing it so well for so long, he has, in turn, become a major influence on the next generation of new traditionalists. One can clearly hear Merle Haggard, Bob Wills and George Jones in his music; but give a listen to new guys like Clay Walker, and you'll hear a distinctive George Strait influence.

Riding a flat-bed of fiddle, pedal steel and genuinely heartfelt vocals, Strait takes the listener on a tour of the country singer's world. On the uptempo "Heartland," George explains that to "sing a song about the heartland" is to "sing a song about my life." The album's hit, "I Cross My Heart," is a strong love ballad co-written by one of Nashville's best current songwriters, Eric Kaz. A gentle fiddle leads the listener into the cry-in-your-beer classic "When Did You Stop Loving Me," and before long the fiddle is weeping alongside George. Strait cuts loose on several songs, but its the trademark hard country tracks like Mel Tillis' "Thoughts Of A Fool" that work best. Jim Lauderdale provides the strongest and most traditional sounding material (particularly "King Of Broken Hearts"), yet both of his songs have clever, modern musical twists.

George Strait is one of the leading proponents of a traditional country music that is styled with Texas swing, delivering his music with a rich, no frills voice and a straight-ahead delivery.

Q (7/93, p.100) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Strait takes Texan honky-tonk and masculine ballads of romantic regret, and delivers impeccably. He may wear his heart deep inside those famously well-pressed cowboy shirts...but you can hear it beating all the same..."

Heather Jensen met guitarist Serena Haaseth in the summer of 1989 in Mesa, Arizona. Serena had been looking to form a band, so she convinced Heather to play and even gave her a Bass on which to learn. Not long after this, Heather happened to strike up a friendship with another local musician named Todd Osborn. She explained about Serena wanting her to play and asked if he would help her learn Bass. He taught her some easy songs like “Wild Thing” and "Louie Louie" (they’re both the same song really!), and over the next couple of weeks she practiced until she could play them in her sleep. After a brief apprenticeship, Heather jumped right in writing her own songs, matching up her brilliant lyric poems with amazingly inventive Bass parts. She was coming up with fluid, extremely rhythmic Bass lines, often in unusual time signatures, after only playing for a month or so. She would show them to Todd and he collaborated to flesh out the arrangements with guitar chords and vocal melodies. Finding out that Todd played drums too, Heather and Serena asked if he would join them. They began rehearsing a set of songs in October. During discussions of what to call the group, which included names like The Obsessives and The Art-Officials, Heather’s sister Kelly suggested Adulterous Woman, after the short story by Albert Camus. The band’s first gig was just months later in February 1990, opening for Todd’s former band, Fine Science, who were just calling it quits. Playing mostly Serena’s original songs (as she was the singer), the band continued playing local gigs for about a year and a half. Within that time many 4-track demos had been recorded, but the band ...
