Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

all late Brent ships are massive fatty versions, love this squishy silvery gloaming-hour one!! you want garcia to just guide you through to sitting in the old folks home sans all the bullshit but at least there's hot summer 89 to distract us in the meantime.
