They said that they consider recordings as loss leaders in order to sell tickets to the concerts. That is where they make their money, not on CD sales.

And if the record company doesn't make any money on the CDs, how many new ones do your think they will put out so the group can have some "lost leaders" to promote their tours? Hummmmm?

It's all connected.

Don't worry, the Dixie Chicks sold out their May show in Austin in two Hours! That is 18,000 people paying $50.00 a ticket to see the Chicks play. Do the math $900,000! And that is just for one show in Austin. Most Dates of their tour have been sold out as well meaning millions upon millions for the Dixie Chicks. I doubt that "promoting their tour" is high on the Dixie Chick to do list.
