SALLY G - Paul McCartney & Wings
This dandy little countrified tune was the B-side of the "Junior's Farm"
single way back in 1975. The label of the record says "Recorded in
England" but I believe it was recorded in Nashville with Chet Atkins on
guitar and Floyd Cramer on piano. I don't know who played the fiddle
and the steel guitar.
