Start at http://www.riaa.com ; they've got a page's worth of more detailed
figures from the 1998 Consumer Profile (including prior years data)
available as a .PDF file. On country music in particular, see "Hard-Core
and Soft-Shell Country Fans" in the Journal of Country Music, 17:3, which is
an interesting look at some 1992 Census Bureau and NORC data, written by
Pete Peterson and Roger Kern.
