Noodling around in the Key of E some lyrics popped into my head. They turned into this song by mext morning. Single take of each track Guitar (Hagstrom) / Vocal / Slide (PRS SE in Open D) so as "live" as you can get with a multi-track recording.

Story behind the song
Playing the Hagstrom one night and enjoying the combination of the new SH55 pickups, the Palmer Overdrive, and the VibroChamp XD on a clean voicing. Just noodling around and ended up playing around in the key of E which I tend to do if I'm just playing the guitar on its own. The vocals came from the frustrations of viruses and chest infections.
Lyrics
My muscles they is aching
I'm really feelin' older
The seasons ain't so different
So why am I feeling colder?
It's just the Age Old Blues
A story old as time
Got me thinkin' sad, sad thoughts
'bout this life of mine.
I'm not so clear of thinking
Don't remember to forget
But though my mind is slowin' down
It ain't gone dormant yet
It's just the Age Old Blues
A story old as time
It just ain't as good no more
But I'll deal with that just fine
I'm not sleepin' very well no more
Can't sleep right through the night
I need to go to the physio
get my muscles put back right
It's just the Age Old Blues
A story old as time
And although my spirits willin'
My body ain't doin' so fine
My muscles they is aching
I'm really feelin' older
The seasons ain't so different
So why am I feeling colder?
It's just the Age Old Blues
A story old as time
Got me thinkin' sad, sad thoughts
'bout this life of mine.
