..................................
Record companies don't have to promote " old songs," so it is less expensive to sell them and more profitable. I can assure you that profit is the only motivational force in corporate America.
Just my 3 cents worth.
Billy I agree. I was in Walmart's record department holding an Elvis's Greatest Hits album. It cost $27 USD. A guy said "I had that on cassette". I answered "I have it on the original vinyl. Since then it has been on cassette, 8-track, CD, and now back on vinyl". The company made a ton of money just reissuing the same songs on different formats. Music Corporations love changing formats!
My momma didn't raise a fool. And if she did it, was one of my brothers.

What can I say? I like what I like.
I just posted about doing some live gigs. Well, Tom T. Hall's 'That's How I Got To Memphis' is in the set list along with Miranda Lambert's 'Tin Man', Morgan Wallen's 'Sand In My Boots' Johnny Rodriguez's 'Pass Me By (If You're Only Passing Through) Kacey Musgrave's 'Mama's Broken Heart' Kelsea Ballerini's 'Hole In The Bottle' etc.
I guess my point is that there is good new music imho, but it's always about the song itself.
And there has to be something said for 'dance groove' music, mostly pop I suppose, but also a lot of country, that makes people move even though the songs themselves don't strike me as being very well written, lyrically or melodically.
I attended a John Legend concert, in 2021 I think it was, big show, superb showmanship obviously, but 'All Of Me' was the only song I knew and really the only song that struck me. And I must not be alone, because he saved it for the end of the show and the audience was on their feet.
I don't see a lot of current music standing the test of time though, like 'Let It Be' has or 'Sweet Baby James' and 'Jolene' have. Is that my own bias? Maybe. But there sure are a lot of young people covering and/or playing that music today.

Last night in a 'past charts' show, my local radio station played Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love", with a comment like "Atlantic Records released it as a single in the US and Led Zeppelin's manager was livid because Led Zeppelin were an album band".
Thinking back to that era, I virtually never bought singles. Virtually everything was albums and the good music was "underground". Singles were constrained in length and had to be considered 'suitable' for play on the then (in the UK) mostly BBC radio.
The stations playing 'my' kind of music were the Pirate radios, Radio Caroline, Radio Northsea, and to a much lesser extent radio amateurs who used an 'agile' system to avoid being tracked.
Even when I was DJing in the mid 70s to early 80s, most of my media was albums or 12" singles. Just a couple of hundred 7" singles at most.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.
