Orville Peck announced a new album, Mule, arriving September 18 and followed by the Man Turned Mule Tour this fall. The country artist previewed the new record with a pair of tracks including “Prologue (Eulogy Of A Man Turned Mule),” featuring Emmylou Harris, Noah Cyrus and Allison Russell.
“Peck’s fourth LP unfolds as a chronological timeline of the year that reshaped his life, tracing the collapse of addiction, the difficult pursuit of sobriety, and the slow, often uncertain process of rebuilding,” press materials noted of Peck’s new album. “Told with unflinching honesty, humor, and compassion, Mule finds Peck confronting love, loss, and identity through songs that move fluidly between classic country storytelling, bluegrass, and expansive Americana.”
To set the scene, Peck shared the album’s opening track, “Prologue (Eulogy Of A Man Turned Mule).” Featured artists Emmylou Harris, Noah Cyrus and Allison Russell represent “three generations of female country icons harmonizing lyrics written and arranged by Peck,” as per the press release. The trio also appear in the accompanying music video to sing the “Eulogy Of A Man Turned Mule.”
The country rocker “Too Little, Too Late” is a deep cut on the record with producer Jay Joyce (Patty Griffin, Eric Church) at the helm. Peck co-wrote the tune with Dan Wilson (The Chicks, Laufey) and Steve Rusch (Beyoncé, Jessie Murph).
