Current hit:  “Slow Down Summer” by Thomas Rhett
 
Linked to:  “Time In A Bottle” by Jim Croce/1973
 
Because:  Both songs are ballads, and both are nostalgic reflections about time: how quickly it passes, a reminder to savor the moment,  longing for a less hectic life, and more lazy-hazy summer days.  
 
Thomas Rhett wrote “Slow Down Summer” with his father, Nashville Songwriter Hall of Famer Rhett Akins.  
 
Ranking:  #33 on the Country chart.
