"Country Girl" is a song by the band Primal Scream. It was released as a single on 22 May 2006 and is the first released from the band's eighth album Riot City Blues. After a successful debut on the downloads chart, the single was propelled to #5 in its first full week of release, becoming the band's highest charting in their career as well as their first UK Top 5 entry and their third Top 10 single.
"Country Girl" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Dottie West. It was released March 1968 as the first single and title track from the album Country Girl. The song peaked at number 15 on the BillboardHot Country Singles chart. In addition, "Country Girl" became West's first song to chart among the Canadian RPM Country chart, reaching a peak of number 5. West wrote the song with Red Lane.
"Country Girl" is identified with West's early career persona: the lyrics of the song's chorus are written on her grave. The lyrics themselves describe her love of the country and the carefree feeling – including such things as blue skies, green meadows, butterflies, home-cooked meals and family – it brings.

1963 – 1975: Country success
West earned her first Top 40 hit in 1963 with "Let Me Off at the Corner", followed a year later by the Top Ten duet with Jim Reeves "Love Is No Excuse". Also in 1964, she auditioned for producer Chet Atkins, the architect of the Nashville sound, who agreed to produce her composition "Here Comes My Baby". The single made Dottie the first female country artist to win a Grammy Award (Best Female Country Vocal Performance), leading to an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.[3] "Here Comes My Baby" reached No. 10 on Billboard Magazine's Country charts in 1964.
After releasing the Here Comes My Baby LP in 1965, Dottie and producer Chet Atkins reunited the following year for Suffer Time, which generated her biggest hit yet in "Would You Hold It Against Me". In 196...

The single made Dottie the first female country artist to win a Grammy Award (Best Female Country Vocal Performance), leading to an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.[3] "Here Comes My Baby" reached No. 10 on Billboard Magazine's Country charts in 1964.
After releasing the Here Comes My Baby LP in 1965, Dottie and producer Chet Atkins reunited the following year for Suffer Time, which generated her biggest hit yet in "Would You Hold It Against Me". In 1967, the West/Atkins pairing issued three separate albums: With All My Heart and Soul (featuring the No. 8 smash "Paper Mansions"), Dottie West Sings Sacred Ballads, and I'll Help You Forget Her.
During the same period, she also appeared in a pair of films, Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar and There's a Still on the Hill. Dottie continued to have success as a solo artist during the late 1960s with such songs as "What's Come Over My Baby", and "Country Girl" which garnered her an offer to write a commercial based on it for Coca-Cola in 1970. The soft drink company liked the result so much that it signed her to a lifetime contract as a jingle writer.
After the 1968 LP Country Girl, West teamed with Don Gibson for a record of duets, Dottie and Don, featuring the number two hit "Rings of Gold" released in 1969. The album was her last with Atkins, and she followed it in 1970 with two releases, Forever Yours and Country Boy and Country Girl, a collection of pairings with Jimmy Dean. Around the time of Have You Heard Dottie West, released in 1971, she left her husband Bill and, in 1972, married drummer Byron Metcalf, who was 12 years her junior. Due possibly in part to her recent stratospheric success with duets, her solo career suffered between 1969 and 1972. Most of her singles released at the time had failed even to peak in the Top 40, and her album sales were declining.
In 1973 West provided Coca-Cola with another ad, featuring a song called "Country Sunshine". The popularity of the commercial prompted her to release the song as a single, and it became one of her biggest hits, reaching No. 2 on the country charts and No. 49 on the Pop charts. The ad itself also netted a Clio Award for commercial of the year and she became the first country artist ever to win that particular honor. "Country Sunshine" proved to be a solid comeback as she was nominated for two Grammys for the song, Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance a year later.
After the release of House of Love in 1974, West notched a number of Top 40 hits including the Top 10 "Last Time I Saw Him", "House of Love", and "Lay Back Lover". Before signing with United Artists Records in 1976, her final album for RCA, Carolina Cousins, was released in 1975.
