Recording notes

From Waitin' on Sundown (1994). Waitin' on Sundown is the third studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. 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 Waitin' on Sundown, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
