From Anything Goes (2008). Anything Goes is the debut studio album by American country music singer Randy Houser. 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 Randy Houser's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
