From Slowheart (2017). Slowheart is the third studio album by American country music artist Kip Moore, released on September 8, 2017, through 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 rig we use for Kip Moore's other songs from Slowheart, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
