From Highway to the Sun (1994). Highway to the Sun is a 1994 album by the British blues guitarist Snowy White. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording. White told Guitar Player he used his goldtop Les Paul through a Vox AC30 on "Midnight Blues", so a Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue (Custom Shop) through a Vox AC30 C2 is the suggested rig. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
