Did y’all know that Elvis released a country album in 1971? It had a great lineup of classics and traditional tunes, including a song that Willie Nelson penned himself, “Funny How Time Slips Away”.
“Funny How Time Slips Away” was released on Elvis Country, the King’s eleventh studio album. The album reached number 12 on the Billboard 200. The melancholy tune talks about running into a former lover after a long time, who has already moved on even though she had told the narrator that she’d love him until the end of time, so there’s a sense of betrayal in the lyrics as well.
Anything Elvis sings is a hit and a fantastic listen, so it’s no different when it comes to the Willie Nelson classic. Elvis’ vocals are perfect for this slow, sad song. His crooning really is the icing on the cake.
Folks, you really don’t want to miss out on this gem.
