The recording
The song was recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville in 1973, produced by Bob Ferguson. The signature guitar arrangement was performed by session legends Chip Young and Wayne Moss, who meticulously worked out their intertwining fingerstyle parts beforehand. The track features the classical guitar panned hard right and a steel-string acoustic guitar panned hard left, creating a wide, clean, and highly articulate acoustic soundscape.
