I am HERE for this duet.
Post Malone is not shying away from features on his forthcoming album, F-1 Trillion. From his already-released duets with Morgan Wallen and Blake Shelton, he has already teased more to come with Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton.
Last night, Malone debuted a few new collaborations, including one with HARDY. While this unreleased song is not new to fans, Post Malone added Sierra Ferrell to his track “Never Love You Again,” and I hope she is featured on the record with this one.
Malone first played the song at the ACM Awards, and it is a steel guitar-soaked heartbreak ballad. It’s the kind of country music many dreamed of coming from Malone. While this was an instant fan favorite after the ACM Awards, Malone somehow made the song better last night with the addition of Sierra Ferrell.
Introducing Ferrell to the crowd as the “young lady who is the best singer he has ever heard,” the two blew away the crowd with their duet. Their voices are perfectly paired, tickling your ears as the slight rasp on Malone’s vocals compliments Ferrell’s angelic and impressive range. The two sing each line harmoniously, so you get the best of both artists throughout the performance.
“Saw the Bible on your dresser
Save some forgiveness for me
Baby, this ain’t no ol’ cowboy western
‘Cause I won’t be lookin’ back when I leave
Oh, it’s a long, lost highway
And this road ain’t my friend
I love you ’til tomorrow
And I’ll never love you again…”

Since Post Malone is such a fan of Sierra Ferrell, he kept her on stage for a little bonus song, delivering a stellar duet of Johnny and June Carter Cash’s hit “Jackson.” The 1966 classic is one of the best duets in country music. Originally written in 1963 by Billy Edd Wheeler and Jerry Leiber, it was first recorded in 1963 by the Kingston Trio, and then later by Flatt and Scruggs, before Johnny and June put it on the map. Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood would later record a version as well.
After delivering the solemn heartbreak ballad, Ferrell and Malone cut to having a great time on stage. As Ferrell dances on stage, Malone is cutting loose with her.
This is a duo I could watch all day long.
