From The Place You're In (2004). The Place You're In is the fourth studio album by American blues rock musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd, released on 5 October 2004 by Reprise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1961 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Kenny Wayne Shepherd's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
