From High (2024). High is the twelfth studio album by the Australian-American country singer Keith Urban, released on 20 September 2024 by Hit Red and Capitol Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Keith Urban's other songs from High, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
