Old Love is a blues ballad co-written and performed by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray. It was released on the 1980 live album Night Music, where Clapton and Cray duet with slow, expressive guitar work. The lyrics describe a lingering former flame that won’t fade, with the refrain Old love, leave me alone, old love, go on home, conveying the struggle to move on. The track sits in the blues and blues rock genres and is notable for the collaborative guitar dialogue between Clapton and Cray.
