"Grandpa Jones is one of the first of the new songs we wrote," says guitarist Greg Anderson. "It channels Flag and Sabbath (that ole' mouldy chestnut!), with lyrics about keeping the yout juice flowin'! The backing vocals are courtesy of Dem Preachers Daughters."

Alongside Anderson (Sunn O))), vocalist Pete Stahl (Scream), drummer Greg Rogers (The Obsessed) and bassist Scott Renner, Black Age Blues features a guest appearance from Slint, Aerial M and Papa M guitarist David Pajo.
