"Sally G" was the B-side to the Paul McCartney and Wings single "Junior's Farm." Like the A-side, it was also recorded in Nashville in 1974 during the band's visit; unlike the A-side, it was strongly country music influenced, including prominent use of a pedal steel guitar. In fact, it charted separately on both Billboard's country singles chart and the Billboard U.S. Top 40, where it reached #17 (14 places lower than its A-side).

Like many Wings singles, the song was not included on an album at the time of release. Therefore, it was unavailable on CD for years. "Sally G" was finally released on CD in 1993, as part of the release of The Paul McCartney Collection, as a bonus track on the album Wings at the Speed of Sound.
