A Classic Reborn
Clint Black’s 1989 chart-topper “Killin’ Time” is often acknowledged as the ultimate country song. This tear-in-your-beer anthem was part of Black’s debut album, and it quickly soared to the #1 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Rolling Stone even named it one of the 200 Greatest Country Songs Of All Time, ranking it at #144.
Clint Black is currently on his 35th Anniversary Of Killin’ Time Tour. Originally scheduled to end in July, Black recently added new dates all the way to the beginning of November. To grab your tickets, visit Clint Black’s official website.
A Surprise Performance At CMA Fest
Last month, fans at CMA Fest got the surprise of a lifetime. During Jon Pardi’s set, after belting out hits like “Dirt On My Boots” and “Heartache On The Dance Floor,” Pardi invited none other than Clint Black to join him on stage. The crowd erupted as Black, described by Pardi as “one of my heroes,” stepped into the spotlight.
Together, they performed “Killin’ Time,” trading verses and harmonizing on the chorus, making it feel like the song was brand new again. The audience sang along, proving that this classic hit still resonates deeply with fans.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there. Clint Black and Jon Pardi released their brand-new version of “Killin’ Time” on all streaming platforms just last week.
Speaking about their collaboration, Black expressed:
“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.”
