This Neil Diamond single would cause yet another rift between him and the head of BANG Records, the notorious Bert Berns. Neil was a little burned out on writing simple pop songs, and thought this should be a B-side to the more ambitious "Shilo." Berns disagreed, and promoted "Kentucky Woman" as the A-side. Diamond would soon jump to another label. Deep Purple would release a very hard rockin' cover version in about a year. "Shilo" was re-released in 1970 to moderate success.
