This news fills my country music loving heart.
It looks like Clint Black and Jon Pardi have found their way into a studio to team up for a duet. The country music legend and the reigning hitmaker released the classic country single of Clint’s “Killin’ Time” together. The song was actually the title track, and second single, from Clint’s 1989 debut album.
What’s hard to believe…is that this song is already 35 years old as of this year. It’s been buying alcohol legally for 14 years now.
It’s a timeless hit to say the least and Clint is giving “Killin’ Time” some new life with a reimagined version featuring another twangy country star, Jon Pardi. They actually delivered a surprise performance of the song together during this year’s 2024 CMA Fest, which was also featured in the ABC broadcast of CMA Fest: The Music Event of the Summer.
Clint had this to say…
“This year marks 35 years since my album ‘Killin’ Time’ debuted, and I am having the pleasure of seeing fans night after night on our 35 Years of Killin’ Time tour singing right along with us.
There is nothing more fulfilling for a songwriter than knowing your music has had an impact. And now, to have my new pal Jon Pardi invite me up to celebrate this song with him in front of the CMA Fest crowd is one of the highlights of the year for me.”
Clint and Jon have released their new version of the hit on all streaming platforms. You can feel free to stream it now on our HILLBILLY LIVE playlist on Spotify.
