From Bringing Down the Horse (1996). Bringing Down the Horse is the second album by American rock band the Wallflowers, released on May 21, 1996 by Interscope Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for The Wallflowers' other songs from Bringing Down the Horse, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
