From 5 (1979). 5 is the fifth studio album by J. J. Cale. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Stratocaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the nearest rig we use for J. J. Cale's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
