From Still Feel Gone (1991). Still Feel Gone is the second album by American alternative country pioneers Uncle Tupelo. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Telecaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the nearest rig we use for Uncle Tupelo's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
