The recording
The song was recorded in 1991 at Masterfonics Studio 6 and Javelina Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and produced by James Stroud. The session approach favored a live-in-studio feel where musicians like Billy Joe Walker Jr. (acoustic guitar) and other top-tier session players provided the instrumentation. The 'clean' sound characteristic of the track is driven by the acoustic foundation and the pristine signal paths of high-end Nashville studios of the era.

How do I recreate the Seminole Wind tone on my own gear?
