The album 'My Country' was released in 1968 by Epic Records, as George Jones' second album on that label. Produced again by Billy Sherrill, the record sought to consolidate Jones' new sound within the country mainstream of the era.
The album includes the single 'I'll Share My World with You', which reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, becoming one of Jones' biggest hits at that time. Other notable songs are 'My Country' and 'When the Grass Grows Over Me'.
'My Country' is a thematic album that celebrates rural life and traditional values of the southern United States. Although not as successful as later works, it is remembered for its cohesion and for showcasing Jones' vocal versatility across a varied repertoire.
