Orville Peck, the masked troubadour, conquers his third album (and first for Warner) with the help of a few friends. Stampede debuted at #1 on last week’s Current Country and Americana Folk album charts, as well as opened in the Top 5 on the overall vinyl chart.

Peck was recently nominated for two People’s Choice Country Awards: Cover Song and Crossover Song of 2024. Stampede features collaborations with some of the biggest names in music, including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Beck and Teddy Swims.

HITS talked to Peck about its genesis and how the project embodies his own progression as an artist. Check out the conversation here.
