Recording notes

From Read Between the Lines (1992). Read Between the Lines is the second studio album by American country music artist Aaron Tippin. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
