Orville Peck joins forces with Willie Nelson for a cover of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other"
Groundbreaking country artist Orville Peck has joined forces with the legendary Willie Nelson for a cover of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other", as his first release since signing with Warner Records.
The track is accompanied by a striking video directed by Ben Prince, which boasts an appearance from Nelson himself. Orville Peck celebrates the release by announcing his upcoming project Stampede, which is a forthcoming collection of duets with his favourite friends.
Recorded by Ned Sublette in 1981, “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other" was subsequently tackled by Nelson in 2006, pushing the underground track to the mainstream. After Nelson asked Peck to record this version of the song together, the idea for the Stampede duets project came to life. Peck went on to perform the song at the icon's 90th birthday show at the Hollywood Bowl last year.
"Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other" is Peck's first new release since dropping his acclaimed sophomore album, Bronco, in 2022.
"Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other" is out now. Stampede will follow later this year.
