My Country is a double album by George Jones. It was released on the Musicor label in 1968 and includes earlier Musicor works. [1]
One criticism of Jones's time at Musicor, which lasted from 1965 to 1971, was the lack of quality control. Jones recorded an enormous amount of material during this time and almost all of it got issued on LPs. The label had released a double album called The George Jones Story in 1968, which featured a mix of old and new songs, and My Country repeats the process. These packages, combined with LPs still being released by his earlier labels Mercury and United Artists, resulted in the market being flooded with releases by "the Possum." In the 1989 documentary Same Ole Me, Starday president Don Pierce recalls producer Pappy Daily's stewardship of Jones's career: "Well, we took him to Mercury, and he became the artist for their country division, and then he took him to United Artists, and he was the country music division at United Artists. Then we took him to Musicor and he was the country division at Musicor, and so a lot of people have been ridin' on ol' George." The cavalier approach taken by Musicor to his recordings would make Jones increasingly unhappy as time went on.

We Found Heaven Right Here on Earth at "4033" is an album by American country music artist George Jones released in 1966 on the Musicor Records label. The album features "Walk Through This World With Me", which would become a number one hit for Jones in 1967, his first chart topper in five years. According to Bob Allen's book George Jones: The Life and Times of a Honky Tonk Legend, Jones was less than enthusiastic about the "musically middle-of-the-road love ballad that was almost inspirational in its unabashedly optimistic and romantic sentiments – a far cry from 'The Window Up Above,'" and it was only at his producer H.W. "Pappy" Daily's insistence that he recorded the song at all. "From Here To The Door" was written by Don Chapel, who was married to Tammy Wynette at the time. We Found Heaven Right Here on Earth at "4033" would rise to number 3 on the country album chart.
