From Find a Light (2018). Find a Light is the sixth studio album by American rock band Blackberry Smoke. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Blackberry Smoke's other songs from Find a Light, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
