Man, Vern Gosdin had one of the all time great country rock voices. Clarence White also just absolutely ripping it up on this.

This is not Nancy's solo 1966 hit version, but having Lee up front def brings out the countryoid Lou Reed leatherette tendencies:

Honey LTD were a girl group who sang on Bob Seger System's "Ramblin; Gamblin' Man" as Wayne State co-eds, before getting on the bus to Hollywood, where they were signed to the musically awesome, biz-inept Lee Hazlewood Industries label. They were soon opening for the likes of Love, The Doors, Buffalo Springfield etc at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, and Sonny & Cher and Nancy & Lee in Vegas---you can hear why on their mindblowing The Complete Recordings finally out last year on Light In The Attic. Most relevant to this thread is their country-pop reincarnation as Eve---album w that moniker hasn't been reissued, but some tracks are on the 'Tube, like this:

And this---the single mix, a little stripped down compared to the album, but like Ronnie Van Zant advises, TURN IT UP:

Speaking of Spotify, get yore ass over there and check out There's A Dream I've Been Saving, which is Lee, Honey Ltd/Eve, and all their totally compatible (thus idiosyncratic) labelmates, incl. Ann-Margret in leather and lace duets with Lee-Lou, and solo, at her Mojave Iggy Stoogest:
