Country Music Magazine
1972-1981
The first issue was published in September, 1972, and they were a monthly publication until the 1978 November/December issue.
From 1979 to 1981 they issued 10 copies a year, combining January/February and July/August. Note: the October 1974 issue was never published.
1982-2003
In 1982 they ceased publishing after the January/February edition and began again in 1983 starting with the September/October edition, publishing, as a rule, a by-monthly magazine with the final issue being August/September 2003. Note: the 2000 February/March issue was not published.
From March 1984 through July 1997 there were 2 different copies published of each magazine. Available in subscription copies only, they began including the CMSA "Country Music News - The Newsletter for Members of the Country Music Society of America". It was usually a 16 page newsletter that, with a few exceptions, included an article on the older stars titled "Legends of Country Music". This "Addition" to the magazine was found in the middle pages, usually just before and after the centerfold.
This 'newsletter' was not published in the newsstand copies, only in subscription copies.
The Journal
Starting in 1991 through April 1997 the magazine had a sister publication called "The Journal of the American Academy For The Preservation Of Old Time Country Music". This ran as a separate publication through Issue Number 38, April 1997. The Journal then became a part of Country Music Magazine when Issue 39 was included in the 1997 September/October publication.
Starting with the December/January 2001 issue, the Journal name was shortened to "The Journal Of Traditional Country Music" and was printed on Glossy paper like the rest of the Magazine, sometimes on slightly smaller pages and, over time, containing less pages.
