From Steers & Stripes (2001). Steers & Stripes is the seventh studio album by the American country duo Brooks & Dunn, released on 17 April 2001 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 rig we use for Brooks & Dunn's other songs from Steers & Stripes, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
