From This Land (2019). This Land is the third studio album by American blues rock musician Gary Clark Jr., and was released on February 22, 2019, by Warner Bros. Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Vibro-King Custom, the rig we use for Gary Clark Jr.'s other songs from This Land, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
