From Hard Workin' Man (1993). Hard Workin' Man is the second studio album by the American country duo Brooks & Dunn, released on 23 February 1993 by Arista Records. 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 Hard Workin' Man, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
