Willie Nelson Helps Steve Perry Recreate Journey’s ‘Faithfully’

A Legendary Collaboration

Former Journey frontman Steve Perry has teamed up with the iconic country music star Willie Nelson to produce a new version of the Journey power ballad “Faithfully.” This exciting collaboration not only celebrates their musical talents but also raises funds for an important cause.

The reimagined track is being released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Farm Aid, an organization for which Nelson serves as a board member. All proceeds from the single will be donated to support the mission of Farm Aid, which is dedicated to assisting family farmers in the United States.

What They’re Saying

Steve Perry expressed his excitement about working with Willie Nelson, stating, “No one has a voice or vocal phrasing anything like Willie Nelson. Singing this duet with Willie has been something I’ve always wanted to do.” Perry emphasized that after initially recording “Faithfully” with Journey, he thought it would be a great song for Nelson and was thrilled to finally collaborate.

Willie Nelson also shared his perspective on the partnership, saying, “Working with Steve Perry on ‘Faithfully’ was a meaningful experience. 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.”

The Background of ‘Faithfully’

Released in 1983, “Faithfully” is a classic ballad that appeared on Journey’s eighth studio album, *Frontiers*. The song became a significant hit, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. This new rendition promises to breathe new life into a beloved track while simultaneously benefiting the farming community.

Where to Listen

The reimagined version of “Faithfully” is now available on all major digital streaming platforms, allowing fans and new listeners alike to enjoy this unique collaboration.

Supporting Farm Aid

Farm Aid has been a longstanding commitment for Willie Nelson, and its mission is to provide support to family farmers who grow the majority of food in America. Together with Perry’s star power, this collaboration brings attention to pressing agricultural issues and aims to rally public support for farmers across the country.
