From Bluebird Days (2023). Bluebird Days is the second studio album by the American country singer Jordan Davis, released on 17 February 2023 by MCA 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 Jordan Davis' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
