Background

The track has an early example of guitar distortion. Session guitarist Grady Martin used a faulty channel in the mixing desk for his six-string bass, for the bridge section and brief reprise right at the end, to create a distorted fuzzy sound. Although Martin did not like the sound, Robbins' producer left the guitar track as it was.[3][4][5] The sound was eventually reverse-engineered and developed into the Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone, one of the first guitar pedals, produced by Gibson under the Maestro brand name.
