Brokeback Nelson

Cowboys are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other) is the best Valentine's Day release ever! Willie Nelson recorded a cover of the 1995 twanger by Pansy Division late last year, just as the much-hyped Brokeback Mountain was gaining attention.



With Nelson's deadpan delivery of lines like, "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" and "Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out," I was never quite certain it was appropriate to laugh. But I did anyway.

We're not offering the mp3 here, but you can get it on Stereogum, so go! Get yourself some gay cowboy lovin'!

(or pay up the $.99 and get it on iTunes!)
