Notes

Studio recording, 1997. No direct evidence of specific amp model or pedals for this track. Takamine EF341C is confirmed as Toby Keith's main acoustic-electric for this era, but no explicit confirmation for 'Dream Walkin'' session. No evidence of electric guitar on riff section; main riff is likely played on the Takamine acoustic-electric plugged in.
