The music will be by Grammy nominee Steve Dorff, composer of Celine Dion's "Miracle" and the hit movie theme "Every Which Way But Loose." John Bettis, a Grammy nominee whose songs include Madonna's "Crazy for You," will supply the lyrics.
"Pure Country" tells the story of a country music superstar who begins to find himself after he walks out of an over-hyped concert tour. The 1992 movie starred George Strait and Lesley Ann Warren.
Previews will begin in spring 2009, with casting to be announced at a later date.
