This 1968 single found West in a transitional period, moving away from the pure country sound of her early career towards the sophisticated country-pop arrangements that would define her later hits. The A-side, "Country Girl," became one of her signature songs.
- "Country Girl" was co-written by West and her then-husband, trucking magnate Bill Nash.
- The single reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
- The B-side, "My Whole World is Falling Down," was a darker, more traditional country tune.
