OK, I will PM you a link to an updated MyMusic72 with the song mood written to the artist mood, and a structure of artist.nfo files. You can just replace your db file with this (it won't have any playback history or new music since you gave me it) probably easiest, or you can use the artist.nfo files.
In future for new artists added to your library, to set country in artist mood you will need to create an artist.nfo file for the new artist with <mood>United States</mood>. If you want other scraped data for that artist then you will either need to add it to the nfo manually, use a media manager, or let Kodi scrape, export artists, edit the artist.nfo it makes and then refresh from artist info dialog to read that nfo.

In the kodi wiki about music nfo files there is written that you have to enable the option Prefer Online Information in order to get data from .nfo files in your library.
Last thing I want is that my music db gets overwritten with data from online scrappers. My music files are generally well tagged and therefore is no need to overwrite this data.
You have misunderstood the wiki. When batch scraping multiple items (on library update if "fetch additional info on update" is enabled, or if you do "query for all" from the context menu) if Kodi finds an nfo file it uses that rather than fetch remote data, there is no setting that changes that. Once scraped the batch scraping will not rescrape artists or albums that have been succesfully scraped.
When refreshing artist/album at a time from the info dialog, you do get prompted to say an NFO files was found and can choose to fetch remotely rather than use the nfo.
"Prefer Online Information" when enabled controls how scraped data is merged with values derived from tag data. Only some of the additional artist or album information fetched by scraping gets initial values from music file tags. For artists that is just sort name, for albums it is more (title, genre, year, compilation, label and artists). I would never enable it.
As it is "Prefer Online Information" enabled has very limited usefulness. The original intention was to have some auto sync facility with Musicbrainz - fetching updates silently - but that was never fully implemented. Such a feature needs perfect Muiscbrainz tagging to being with and too many uses don't do that. It was then modified/mis-interpreted by others, and then I did the same to neutralise the unwanted side-effects it was having. IMO album title, year, compilation, artists should only come from music file tags, and not be editable (and hence differ from the song values). That leaves album genre and artist sortname....
Anyway probably far more information than you require.
Bottom line: leave "Prefer Online Information" disabled and no scraped album or artist data will overwrite any values derrived from tags.
