It doesn’t come any groovier than Mustang Sally. Wilson Pickett stretches that 12 bar blues to the limit and lays down the groove with such cool sophistication. I love teaching this in ukulele class, especially because Wilson’s version is in the key of C, the ukulele’s favourite key. It means any uke player can turn up the volume and jam along with the original 1967 recording.
