From Alone with Everybody (2000). Alone with Everybody is the first solo album by English singer-songwriter Richard Ashcroft, released on Hut Records in June 2000. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Richard Ashcroft's other songs from Alone with Everybody, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
