Steve Perry Calls Journey Cover with Willie Nelson ‘One of the Greatest Honors of My Life’


Steve Perry and Willie Nelson unveiled their new duet version of Journey's "Faithfully" for charity on Wednesday (May 14).

The former Journey frontman and the country icon turn the band’s classic 1983 single into a wistful, meditative ballad as Nelson warbles, “Highway run in the midnight sun/ Wheels go round and round/ You’re on my mind” over tender acoustic guitar. Eventually, the pair’s inimitable voices weave around one another’s on the rest of the power ballad’s famously chorus-free lyrics, tinged with subdued piano chords, harmonies and a touch of harmonica for good measure. Proceeds from the single’s sale will be donated to Farm Aid as the nonprofit dedicated to supporting America’s agricultural workers marks its 40th anniversary.
