Why aren't current country albums on vinyl

For country lovers looking for good recently relased country (done in a fairly old school style), check out Kort's album. A beauty and pressed on great sounding vinyl (my copy at least).

thx roscoe, always liked lambchop so looking forward to hearing it.

The vinyl resurgence is due to YOUNG folks getting into vinyl. I think the young 'Country' types just would rather spend their money on extra beer and bullets.. rather than on vinyl.
That is my experience with them anyway...
The records being pressed are new Rock, Old Rock, and old jazz...
Not Opera, not Classical, and not Country.
The market is just not big enough to bother.
Country folks are always a bit 'behind the times' anyway, so give it five more years, and if the vinyl resurgence is still happening, you might see a few new country vinyl issues.
(and I agree Country HAS become pop with a cowboy hat..)

I love what is currently passing as "country music". Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, George Strait, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton etc...They write about things in my life I relate to on a very emotional level. I also love Steely Dan and Michael Franks, but I swear the lyrics might as well be in latin.

I wish more country music albums were on vinyl as well, I suppose the powers that be don't think it would be profitable.

Check out the Sugar Hill Records website ... sort of a mix of country/folk titles with both old and new artist.
