From Sheryl Crow (1996). Sheryl Crow is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow, released on 24 September 1996 by A&M 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 Sheryl Crow's other songs from Sheryl Crow, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
