"Kentucky Woman" is a 1967 song written and originally recorded by Neil Diamond.

The song was mixed in monophonic, which is the common version heard on all Neil Diamond compilations featuring original Bang singles.

The only known stereo mix was done in 1978 for a Frog King/Columbia House album called Early Classics, which has never been released on CD.

[10] A remastered version appears on the two-CD 30th anniversary album 30: Very Best of Deep Purple and runs 4:43.

[citation needed] Deep Purple played "Kentucky Woman" live on tour in 1968 and 1969, even after Ian Gillan and Roger Glover joined the band in the summer of 1969.
