You Oughta Be Here With Me
''You Oughta Be Here with Me'' is an album by American country music singer George Jones. This album was released in 1990 on Epic Records. It includes the singles "Hell Stays Open (All Night Long)" and "Six Foot Deep, Six Foot Down", neither of which charted. Background ''You Oughta Be Here With Me'' was Jones's last proper studio album with Epic. Although the album featured several stirring performances, including the lead single "Hell Stays Open All Night Long" and the Roger Miller-penned title song, the single bombed and Jones made the switch to MCA, unceremoniously ending his relationship with producer Billy Sherrill and what was now Sony Music after 19 years. Sherrill had produced Jones since 1971 and the body of work they created had resulted in one of the most successful producer/artist alliances in the history of country music. Sherrill had actually retired with Jones as his only client. Sherrill, who had scored massive hits producing Tammy Wynette and Charlie Ric ...
