Orville Peck & Willie Nelson – “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other” (Ned Sublette Cover)

Orville Peck & Willie Nelson – “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other” (Ned Sublette Cover)

Country eccentric Orville Peck has been relatively quiet since the release of 2022’s Bronco. In June last year, he postponed his tour for the album due to his mental and physical health. Earlier this week, he revealed new dates for that tour along with his signing to Warner. Now he’s announced a new duets album called Stampede with a cover of Ned Sublette’s 1981 song “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other” with country legend Willie Nelson, which is out now.

Nelson released his own cover of the track for his 2009 LP Lost Highway, and it was the first queer mainstream country song by a major artist. This duet follows Nelson’s recent one with Kermit The Frog, and his 75th album The Border is slated for release in May. Watch Peck and Nelson take on “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other” below.
