From All of It (2018). All of It is the third studio album by the American country singer Cole Swindell, released on 17 August 2018 by Warner Music Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Cole Swindell's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
