===Country format=== Asylum was reformatted into a country music label, still operated by Elektra, in 1992. Under the new format, Asylum scored successful recordings by such acts as [[Emmylou Harris]], [[Brother Phelps]], [[Thrasher Shiver]], [[Kevin Sharp (country singer)|Kevin Sharp]], [[Bryan White]], and [[Lila McCann]]. They also produced many critically acclaimed albums by artists such as [[George Jones]], [[Mandy Barnett]], [[Guy Clark]], [[The Cox Family]], [[Bob Woodruff (singer)|Bob Woodruff]], [[Monte Warden]], [[JD Myers]] and [[Jamie Hartford]] (although the last two artists' albums were initially shelved. By the end of the decade, however, mismanagement and a lack of promotion money led to the dissolution of the Asylum country label. In 2003, [[Mike Curb]], head of [[Curb Records]], revived the Nashville division of Asylum, forming a new label known as Asylum-Curb. [[LeAnn Rimes]], [[Clay Walker]], [[Lee Brice]], [[Rio Grand]], [[Hank Williams, Jr.]] and [[Wynonna Judd|Wynonna]] were among the artists on the Asylum-Curb division.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nashvillepost.com/news/2003/1/29/mike_curb_to_revive_asylum/ |title=Mike Curb to revive Asylum |access-date=2007-11-22 |last=Ruble |first=Dave |date=2003-01-29 |work=Nashville Post}}</ref>
