A Bar Band. Cool. Good place to hear Mustang Sally. My daughter named after her gramma. Great song. Great band. She doesn’t have a Mustang. But texting her this wonderful song will make her very happy listening to it. Thanks for sharing with us!!

[@GunnyWallen]

Hootie and the Blowfish are THE definition of a bar band. I have loved them since seeing them play hole in the wall places in Charleston and Columbia SC. Thanks for upping this.

[@Carol-pf9fw]

Been luv hootie an the blowfish for many many 🌙’s so glad they came in my life an still to this day they fill my soul 💙 an been blessed to have seen them many many times 💙 ohhhhhh yeah Darius is the man 💙

[@angeliaharman1649]

Reminds me of my late Dad. Back in the day (80's), I had a '68 Mustang Fastback and he would call me Mustang Sally and sing this to me all the time! I miss him (and the Mustang) dearly! ☹ Great cover! 💔

[@bullifan1300]

best version ever...😎👍

[@MsIndylindy]

I would listen to him sing the phone book too! He has such a soulful voice and he is a great person too...does a lot of charity work. Love Darius!

[@jaypierce6336]

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW Wonderful version of a great tune performed by a fantastic band. From a 72yo Aussie fan,

[@pzsgrammie]

[@apacheboxingfan]

I never get tired of listening to Darius Rucker!

[@zorro456]

Damn good voice. One of the best Blues Singers Ever.

[@titanium5]

Used to see them back at the Music Farm back in the early 90's. Great band! Darius can really shred this song in a good way. Think he got pretty tired of always doing it. Glad Hootie had their moment of fame. Great band!

[@pattiholsinger9588]

I love him doing Mustang Sally ! wow their GREAT !!

[@alfreda2711]

I saw Darius about 7 years ago in Ashland Kentucky at the Paramount. He sang Purple Rain ☔️ and he did it quite well. Great concert 🎵

[@michaelgallagher232]

[@tommyguns9780]

The cover I didn’t know I needed

[@jillstover8782]

[@laurie7978]

Ahhh good ol' memories of that 1983 Mustang GT.....

[@karenhenry6783]

I haven't seen u yet Darius! Loving this!!!

[@beverlydavis935]

Hootie's gravel growl puts that xtra umph in it ❣️

[@LuigiTessitore]

Great voice!

[@karen4825]

I want that t shirt!

[@Axethales]

Hootie is actually a successful country & western singer now ;)

[@Hippiechic67]

I was at this concert “farm aid”, everybody was on their feet for this song...

[@gunshine01]

Hippiechic67 this was the year before I was born... I was born 2 decades too late

[@bernadetteramirez4312]

Love this, he is so good and handsome

[@undfan211]

I love the fact that Darius is rocking a tee-shirt with the text of the First Amendment on it.

[@wdharvey1]

Saw the 1996 concert in Columbia, SC.....and swear I saw one of the first FarmAid concerts in the very late '80's in Lexington, SC..Willie Nelson, Dottie West, The Beverly Brothers, and Charlie Daniel's Band was there.....

[@Derbydollful]

Darius Rucker is one of the great voices of the past 20 years. He could sing the phone book and I would listen. Please don't call him Hootie.

[@unmalo2768]

I agree, and i love Hootie too!!!!

[@donconrad6957]

he is awesome

[@jaypierce6336]

no problem You can love Hootie But the guy is way short of having a great voice. Ask someone with a ear.

[@featheredfriend1711]

​@jaypierce6336 why don't we hear YOUR voice then. Oh wait, you can't sing and don't have any hits

[@aaronchambers3963]

Darius Rucker a man who has Charley Pride greatness written all over him. The pride of South Carolina. Go Gamecocks. Dawn Staley.

[@bam5angels]

[@coursehome]

[@MiaTerrier]

Great song - you know they must have done this as a bar band starting out.

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Every band worth it's salt has played this in bars.

[@glenwallace6314]

It's three chords.

[@Bluesrainbluesrainbow]

wonderfull!

[@jayman6677]

I love hootie

[@JBS5022]

Does anything in America ever reach a potential where no one comments? No one criticizes, no one condemns, every one agrees and all find the topic being some thing worth while? Controversy is rampant in this nation...I came to this video to listen to see what quality these guys could add to an already fabulous song. After listening the comment section came up.....and Oh brother all these reviews are no reviews at all just a bunch of people who don't know how to play anything...but a radio...a CD player, or itunes on their cell phones. If you can't be positive....who do you think wants to hear your scorn and negativity?

[@schmodedo]

I understand your sentiment and agree to a point. However, as a musician myself, who has played this same song countless times, I think I'm in a position to critique this version to some extent. The tempo was all over the place. Yes, sometimes it was intentional, and that's acceptable. But at other points where the beat should be straightforward, it was a roller coaster ride. The musicianship was good, but nothing exceptional. Does it suck...NO. Was it awesome...NO. Was the song better than any one of the "zillion" times I played it ? That depends on who you ask and the musicians I was playing with.

[@steviea427]

@ Mike Smith, Exactly Mike, you are dead on. Classic 12 bar blues is the way musicians who never played with each other (or sometimes even met) can get together. The point is to jam and try to fit together, which will never happen the first time. Everybody has to feel each other out and constantly adjust. To see an amazing, (amazingly bad that is), example of this look up on YT the "Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus." They put John Lennon (rhythm and vocals), Eric Clapton (lead guitar) and Keith Richards (bass) together, without any rehearsal, and tried to play "Yer Blues" by Lennon. It was embarrassingly bad. Even guitar heroes can have a bad jam when they haven't worked together before. Darius and the others did better than should be expected for a cold jam in front of a big crowd. IMO of course. Peace Mike, Steve.

[@steviea427]

P.S. Other good examples of musicians not ready to play together and just going for it in front of an audience can be seen in the videos of just about every Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

[@schmodedo]

steviea427 Thanks dude. As a musician I've been the "victim" of many an impromptu jam. Predicting the outcome of such an event is nearly impossible. I could call five very talented friends of mine today and cover this song impeccably. On the flip side, I could call five equally talented friends and completely torture it. To James' point, I do think too many have found reason, warranted or not, to disagree with each other in a most uncivil manner. I think we've both shown that you can criticize without insults.

[@msklp4554]

Yes sir!!!! I totally agree with you, James! You are a very smart man!!!!

[@LetArtsLive]

Great song and cause peace to all...dan NY

[@michaelatate3549]

Never heard him sing the "phonebook", but he is awesome !! Hope he finds my number in the phone book one day !

[@hankigoe829]

Ride Hootie, ride...

[@Trouble-Clef]

There’s nothing like a Mack Rice song made famous by Wilson Picket but performed by HTBF!

[@sherigentry4955]

Was there 😎

[@BrendaHylton2018]

i think pretty great song

[@taralane6081]

people just don't appreciate things anymore...everything has a memory attached to it...if there isn't one...its not yours ...think about it

[@allangate6946]

[@frogeregis]

[@massimoscaravilli4137]

Tutti vogliono cantare il pezzo Mustang Sally, ma come Whilson Pickett nessuno.

[@saintsman201]

Hootie is the man :)

[@Adam_SCOTCH]

There ain't a better live performer

[@markbrommer2588]

"my wifes name is sally, and for her 40th bday I bought her a "red Mustang" we went for a ride " and made her a "mix c.d" for her ,as we were cruising the back roads I had put "mustang sally on it" for got i had did that,Any ways Now when she Leaves for work "she cranks Mustang up In the yard as shes leaving for work, "and her license plates are Sally 1.. lol

[@markbrommer2588]

lol i tell her that all the time, but she just floors it down.

[@jeanniebrittian7335]

my Hot Rod 1988 mustang I bought for my 59th birthday this past March has a tag of Sallie. Corny for my age I guess, but am up for a short race with any punk of my town when challenged. She will pass anything on the road except the gas pump =)

[@dashchristinat8221]

mark Brommer and she bought you the house ?

[@denisemason3335]

He started out as HOOTIE so why not call him this. People just making a big deal out of nothing. I would think he would appreciate being called this becuz this would mean the person has been following from the beginning. I know I started following him when he was known as "Hootie and the Blowfish. I love his music either way.

[@tommyroberts3302]

mega

[@taralane6081]

Come on Sally....;)

[@monicaanderson2842]

Fy fan vilken go version!

[@cindymcfadden2241]

That was his nickname, and the Blowfish was a friend of his

[@srlobough13]

[@podgecelt]

Good version but my favorite is Andrew strings version from the film the commitments

[@sea9994]

Throw in a "Babe" RUTH you get a grand stand slam..

[@pegmcq1669]

LOL Michaela, hope he finds my number too- (wink)

[@hyattmcelhenney5648]

Darius .....unreal........

[@bluecollarlit]

Hyatt Mcelhenney I also like another song he recorded, think it's called wagon wheel

[@peterannhodgdon9648]

hi Mark just an

[@AnimeCountDown]

He calls himself Darius Rucker, why would you think he calls himself Hootie? I don't even know of anyone who calls him that other than children or completely incompetent people.

[@Dally_Sparkles]

LOL... they wanted hot chicks to come up on stage... oh dear

[@sarawilliams3508]

Ok

[@unmalo2768]

Who is the white dude clapping offbeat????!!!

[@raysanders6889]

hottie. is good, but he's no wilson

[@P90X490104]

I put Wilson Pickett first and I thought the Commitments did a pretty good job

[@alicemarsh5305]

Dude with the tambourine just stick with that leave the singing to the professionals stop messing it up for them

[@glenwallace6314]

I thought the same exact thing. I was going to comment but saw you already pointed it out.

[@lkb4781]

He was Darius’ musical idol before he became famous. It was a huge honor to get to sing with him

[@brianaugello3724]

I just wanted to be comment 100. There were 99

[@Wheatley60]

Kinda dead ..Nobody's done it better than Wilson Pickett

[@johnsin3843]

The white guy keeps the beat like only a white guy can. I thought Trump was bad.

[@ZagdaGreat]

This just sucks.......

[@mikemc41]

Look in the mirror douche...the view sucks even more!
