Recording notes

From Outlaws (1975). Outlaws is the debut studio album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in July 1975 by Arista Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for The Outlaws' other songs from Outlaws, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
