The song "Tired Man" was part of Albert Collins' live performance recorded on October 27, 1988, at the TV studio "Ohne Filter" in Baden-Baden, Germany, produced by Südwestrundfunk. This concert is part of the Ohne Filter - Musik Pur series, a long-running German TV show featuring blues, jazz, and other non-mainstream genres. The performance featured Albert Collins on guitar and vocals, with his band, The Icebreakers, including: Debbie Davies (guitar, vocals), Johnny B. Gayden (bass), Soko Richardson (drums), Gabriel Flemmings (trumpet), Chuck Williams (saxophone), and Sam Franklin (tenor saxophone). "Tired Man" is a soulful blues shuffle with Collins' signature emotive vocals and sharp guitar work. The lyrics reflect the weariness of daily life and responsibilities, with lines like: “I'm a tired man, I ain't got time to play / You know I'll always love ya baby, every night and every day”. The song shows Collins' ability to blend humor and heartfelt emotion, a hallmark of his Texas blues style.
