The Wilson Pickett version and even the Sir Mack Rice version,
make Mustang Sally a great classic song. Great horn arrangement, 3-4 guitar 
parts
working in harmony and structure to make the song what it is. I have yet to 
see 
anyone play that song half way right or have any understanding of any sort of 
arrangement. A damn shame, kind of like the same treatment that is given to
Stormy Monday and a few others, besides the fact that these two songs have 
been so homogenized into the American subconscious that it is not even a 
requirement to
be able to know either song at all, just a bad attempt will net a full dance 
floor.

Mustang Sally- $100.00 in the tip jar!
