Notes
Studio recording, 2001-2002. Gear confirmed for Songs About Jane era by tech photos and interviews, but no explicit solo section breakdown. No evidence of signature Music Man Valentine or Collings I-35 on this album. Pedalboard details from era suggest Fulltone Full-Drive 2 was used for solos.
