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

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

That fleeting and unique thing, a hot El Paso. Yeah, this thing is full-bodied and rich. No skips for me. You can tell if the "cowboy tunes" are particularly good, use them as canaries in the coal mine to surmise that it's a hot show all around.
