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

Delivery is impeccable, horses gallop across the multiverse thanks to a fired up foolish>woman smarter for phil and the devils to ramp it up then jerry brings it to the next level on a firey prickly tiger jam full of shredding
