Steve Perry and Willie Nelson have teamed up for a heartfelt reimagining of Journey’s classic ballad, ‘Faithfully.’ This collaboration brings together an iconic rock ‘n roll voice in Steve Perry and a Texas country music legend in Willie Nelson. Perry, known for his soaring vocals with Journey, shared that he always felt Faithfully would be a perfect fit for Nelson’s unique style. “No one has a voice or vocal phrasing anything like Willie Nelson,” Perry said. “Singing this duet with Willie has been something I’ve always wanted to do.”
For Willie Nelson, the collaboration was just as meaningful. “Working with Steve Perry on Faithfully was a meaningful experience,” he said. “It was a pleasure to collaborate on this song. I’m proud that we could create something meaningful and use it to give back through Farm Aid.” All proceeds from the recording will go to Farm Aid, the nonprofit Nelson co-founded to support American family farmers.
The new version of Faithfully is now available on all major digital streaming platforms, and a video has been posted on YouTube.
