From Southside (1989). Southside is the debut album by Scottish rock band Texas. It was released on 13 March 1989. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Texas' other songs from Southside, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
