I don't think it is a matter of who likes country music. Vinyl is a niche market. Labels will only release on vinyl if they think they can sell enough to make a profit.
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).
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.
"...lights flicker in the opposite loft in this room the heat pipes just cough the country music station plays soft but there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Tbromgard, Perhaps you were including my post when you referred to "some rude responses here...". Actually my post did not include one word of my own. They were written by the man whom many consider the preeminent songwriter of our generation. "Visions of Johanna" by Bob Dylan. Anyway, it was in fun.
Don,t know if your'e a fan of Robert Earl Keen, but I picked up a couple of his newer recordings used a while back which I enjoyed. Not his best, but I find myself listening to them often.
You need to be a fan though. REK's voice is not for everyone. Great lyrics and always has a tight band. Terrific live shows
