From High Land, Hard Rain (1983). High Land, Hard Rain is the debut album by the jangle pop band Aztec Camera. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Aztec Camera's other songs from High Land, Hard Rain, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
