Why do some cd's have no bass

I usually listen to roots music and I just picked up Marty Stuarts new cd and the bass is way,way back in the mix. The rest of the instruments sound great. Its a very good rockabilly recording with great tunes , just no bass. I thought that style of recording went away with Buck Owens who recorded that way so the tunes would stick out on AM radio.

It's likely the fault of the person who mixed the multi-track recording down to two-track stereo. The liner notes should tell you who is to blame.
Mixing is an art and apparently there are successful professionals that don't "get it."
