From Me and You (1996). Me and You is the third studio album by American country music singer Kenny Chesney. 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 Kenny Chesney's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
