From Dirt Track Date (1995). Dirt Track Date is an album by Southern Culture on the Skids, released in 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a bright, spring-reverb surf pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
