Take My Bones Away
Baroness's big anthemic turn -- the lead single from 2012's Yellow & Green and their first mainstream-rock chart hit. Working again with producer John Congleton, the band deliberately swapped Gibson Les Pauls for Fender single-coils because Congleton had them in the studio, chasing a brighter, more vulnerable jangle under the soaring chorus. The amps run clean and the dirt comes entirely from pedals -- a Pro Co RAT and a modded Big Muff into Bad Cat and Matamp 'Green' heads.
