From Cowboy Town (2007). Cowboy Town is the eleventh studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn, released in 2007 by Arista Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1968 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Brooks & Dunn's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
