With Willie Nelson Absent, Lukas Nelson Moves Fans to Tears at Outlaw Music Festival with Powerful Tribute

 

 A Legacy Reimagined: From Willie to Lukas

Originally penned by Willie Nelson in 1961, “Funny (How Time Slips Away)” has long been a pillar of American songwriting. Covered by icons like Elvis PresleyAl Green, and Glen Campbell, the song is a staple of heartbreak and reflection. But when Lukas Nelson—Willie’s son and frontman of Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real—revisits this classic, he brings something new: intimacy, raw emotion, and quiet soul.

His rendition, featured on the 2020 album Naked Garden, feels less like a performance and more like a conversation under the stars — soft, open, and unfiltered.
