From Whirlwind (2024). Whirlwind is the fifth studio album by American country singer Lainey Wilson. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Lainey Wilson's other songs from Whirlwind, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
