Recording notes

From Me and My Gang (2006). Me and My Gang is the fourth studio album by the American country music group Rascal Flatts, released on April 4, 2006, as their fourth album for Lyric Street Records. 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 Rascal Flatts' other songs from Me and My Gang, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
