From Time, Tequila & Therapy (2021). Time, Tequila & Therapy is the fourth studio album by the American country group Old Dominion, released on 8 October 2021 by RCA Records Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the nearest rig we use for Old Dominion's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck+middle pickups together.
