Recording notes

From Five Days in July (1993). Five Days in July is the fifth studio album by Canadian country-rock band Blue Rodeo. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the nearest rig we use for Blue Rodeo's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
