"Sally G" was the B-side to the Paul McCartney and Wings single "Junior's Farm."
Writing, recording and release
McCartney composed the song after visiting a country music club in Printer's Alley.[1]
Like the A-side, it was recorded in Nashville in 1974 during the band's visit.[1] Unlike the A-side, it was strongly country music-influenced, including prominent use of Nashville backing musicians such as Vassar Clements, Lloyd Green and Johnny Gimble supporting Wings.[1]
In the US, "Sally G" charted separately from "Junior's Farm" on both Billboard's country singles chart and on the Billboard Hot 100 where it reached #51 and #39 (#17 when still listed as the flip of "Junior's Farm"), respectively. Like many Wings singles, the song was not included on an album at the time of release.
