Lead

• The first sentence is rather long; why not separate it into two? Maybe something like: "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other" (1981) is a song by Latin country musician Ned Sublette, whose music, according to Howard Cohen, features a "lilting West Texas waltz (3/4 time at about 60–90 beats per minute) feel". The song is, according to Gene Tyranny, "the famous gay cowboy song".
• The lyrics satirize the stereotypes associated with cowboys and gay men, such as in the lyrics relating western wear to the leather subculture with the line, "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" --> Colon before the lyric. I'm not going to restate these types of issues later, but when there is a lyric or full quote, a colon is needed before it.
• (iTunes single February 14, 2006) --> Isn't needed.

Sublette's version

• Original version would be a more appropriate title.
• Says - stated that

Nelson's version

• Full name should appear in the heading.
• iTunes digital download --> Digital download
• Lost Highway Records --> Lost Highway
• Nelson received a tape of the song from Saturday Night Live Band bassist Tony Garnier after performing on the show[9] in the mid to late 1980s and according to the Sublette, "Willie took it from there"[4] though Nelson recently found that demo in a drawer among a stack of his own while recording unreleased songs for iTunes at his Spicewood, Texas home studio --> This is, also, too long of a sentence. How about: Nelson received a tape of the song from Saturday Night Live Band bassist Tony Garnier after performing on the show[9] in the mid to late 1980s. According to the Sublette: "Willie took it from there" though Nelson recently found that demo in a drawer among a stack of his own while recording unreleased songs for iTunes at his Spicewood, Texas home studio.
• There are plans to release the song on a future album --> Sort of outdated, since this is from six years ago. "There were plans..."
• the Round Up Saloon (in Oak Lawn), in February --> February, of what year?
• No --> number. This appears as an issue many times.

References

• Some incorrect date formatting. Such as "3:00 p.m. ET February 17, 2006"
• Pick which date format you want to use throughout the article, the content goes MDY, while the refs go both MDY and DMY.
• There are also publishers missing for the references. Such as AllMusic, the publisher is Rovi Corporation. Also, websites are not used as works. The work for ref 14, for example, would be Billboard and the publisher would be Prometheus Global Media. Check to make sure there are no other issues similar.
