From Dearly Beloved (2021). Dearly Beloved is the sixth studio album by American rock band Daughtry, released on September 17, 2021, through Dogtree Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Daughtry's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
