Performed by Cowboy Willie & Redwood-AZ Country Western and Light Rock Band. "Mustang Sally" is an R&B / straight-forward Blues song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965. It gained greater popularity when it was covered by Wilson Pickett the following year.
According to music historian Tom Shannon, the song started as a joke when Della Reese's band leader wanted a new Ford Mustang. Rice called the early version "Mustang Mama," but changed the title after Aretha Franklin suggested "Mustang Sally."
