Songs That Made Country Girls Famous is a studio album by Lynn Anderson released in 1969.[1] The album became Anderson's second top ten LP on Billboard'sTop Country Albums chart, peaking at #9.
The eleven song album features covers of major hits in the careers of eleven female country singers, although in several cases the song is not actually the one that made the artist famous. Lynn Anderson herself is included in the eleven, with a remake version of her first charted single "Ride Ride Ride", released only three years prior to this album. No singles were released from the album when it premiered in 1969, however two years later after Anderson had moved on to Columbia Records, Chart would release "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" as a single resulting in a Top 20 record on the Billboard country chart.

Shown are albums by Skeeter Davis, Tammy Wynette, Kitty Wells, Liz Anderson, Loretta Lynn, Connie Smith, Dottie West, and Jeannie C. Riley with a Jeannie Seely album peaking out between two other albums. Anderson covers hits by all of these artists on the album with the exception of Skeeter Davis. She also covers Bonnie Guitar and Patsy Cline, but albums by them are not among the albums on the floor.
