From Amorica (1994). Amorica is the third studio album by American rock band The Black Crowes. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for The Black Crowes' other songs from Amorica, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
