Recording notes

From It's All About to Change (1991). It's All About to Change is the second studio album by American country music singer Travis Tritt, released on Warner Bros. Records in 1991. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Travis Tritt's other songs from It's All About to Change, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
