Going into this, I wanted to make sure that every single song on the album felt like a true 50/50 collaboration of me and the other artists' style and sound and genre. I didn't want to just feel like a bunch of Orville Peck songs that feature verses from other artists. I wanted each one to be an actual collaboration. Every single song on the album is entirely its own thing, dependent on who the artist is. It's a really fun journey. It's definitely the most adventurous I've ever been in terms of genre. It's some of the most country songs I've ever done on this album and some of the least country songs I've ever done on this album.

—Peck on recording Stampede: Vol. 1 [1]

Stampede is the third studio album by South African singer-songwriter Orville Peck. It was released on August 2, 2024, through Warner. [2] The album follows 2022's Bronco and a self-imposed hiatus in 2023, and was accompanied by a promotional tour as well as the lead single, a cover of "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other", recorded as a duet with Willie Nelson. [3] [4] [5] The album title continues the theme of Peck's releases having names related to horses, [6] and was preceded by an EP with several songs that span multiple music genres. [7]

Background

Stampede contains 15 tracks, all of which are recorded as vocal duets between Peck and other artists of various genres. [2] Peck recorded a duet version of "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other" with Willie Nelson, who first covered the song solo in 2006. Peck also covered "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" for the album, with the latter being a duet with its original artist, Elton John. [2] "Midnight Ride", a collaboration with Kylie Minogue and Diplo, was released as the album's second single in June 2024. [8]

Prior to the album, an EP, Stampede: Vol. 1, was released on May 10, 2024. Stephen Daw of Billboard stated that on this release Peck is "a world-class curator paying tribute to the stars who helped pave the way for him". [9] Writing in Slant Magazine , Steve Erickson scored this album 3 out of 5 stars, praising specific tracks but also critiquing that "musically, though, the album isn't always as savvy", with some genre explorations being more successful than others. [10]
