Here are some songs that use a job as part of the title. Do you recall the name of the songs? There is a little twist with all of the songs. See if you know what the tunes have in common. Artists are little bit Country, little bit Rock n' Roll....sort of.
Here are the clues:
1. A very successful country/pop/bluegrass group consisted of three talented women. The song reached # 1 on the Country charts and was from the "Fly" album.. The band uses a Southern nickname as part of their group name. The country song was written about one of the band members eventually meeting Mr. Right and being "whisked off into the sunset" by him.
2. This song was written by the same artist who wrote "Bend Me, Shape Me" by the American Breed. The tune became a signature song for the artist who made it the centerpiece of his concerts. Part of the song's title comes from fake jewels worn on country style clothing which were popular choices for "flamboyant country singers." The artist recently passed away after a long illness said this #1 country hit was maybe the best song he'd ever sung. He hosted a music and comedy variety show on CBS television, from January 1969 through June 1972.
3. The artist has claimed that the song is about his impression of "beaches in Spain", despite the fact that when he wrote the song he had never been to Spain. His sound combines folk, rock, country and other musical styles. He has been nicknamed "The Godfather of Grunge." You may know the song from this tune's lyric "Old enough now to change your name" and "Has your band begun to rust," which could be a reference to his former band.
Name that tune! Bonus for naming the correct artists/band and what all the titles have in common.
Quick Recap:
1. Song off fly album, Southern nickname used for part of band's name.
2. Song talks about fake jewels worn on clothing. Artist had TV variety show, recently passed.
3. "Godfather of Grunge," Spanish beaches, "Old enough to now to change your name."
Thanks to all who participate and you know what I say...as always, Thanks for playing! Hope these songs brought back a pleasant memory for some...Use those clues folks!!!!

@dgobucks226 - Well, "Harvest' would be Neil Young, but I'm still drawing a blank.

@teamfreak16 Yes, Neil now what song did he write with cowboys/girls in the title? Jewels, stones, cowboys, country star, recently passed from an incurable disease? Any help with those clues for #2. His song has the word cowboy in the title, so a cowboy with jewels.

1. Cowboy Take Me Away- Dixie Chicks
2. Rhinestone Cowboy- Glen Campbell
3. Cowgirl in the Sand- Neil Young
