Orville Peck announces new album Mule

Orville Peck will drop his new album Mule, on September 18 via Warner Records. Along with the newa, he’s releasing a pair of songs from the set: the previously teased “Prologue (Eulogy Of A Man Turned Mule),” which features Emmylou Harris, Noah Cyrus, and Allison Russell; and the lead single “Too Little, Too Late.”

The album news arrives after Peck’s debut at the Grand Ole Opry. Today, Peck is announcing the Man Turned Mule Tour, which Follows his headlining performance at the iconic Hollywood Bowl. Peck’s North American tour will kick off on October 28 in Sacramento and wrap up on November 22 in Huntington, New York. Joining Peck on the North American run beginning October 28 is Nashville singer-songwriter Abbie Callahan. Additionally, $1 from every ticket sold on the North American Man Turned Mule Tour will be donated to The Trevor Project, supporting its mission to provide crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ+ young people.

Fans can sign up now to get early access to tickets via the artist presale at Orvillepeck.com which will begin on Tuesday, July 28 at 10 a.m. local time. VIP packages will be available starting Monday, July 27 at 10 a.m. local time and will include premium tickets with early entry, an exclusive VIP Pre-Show Experience with Orville Peck including a soundcheck viewing and a Q&A session, exclusive merchandise and additional perks. Tickets go on sale to the public beginning on Friday, July 31 at 10 a.m.

“Prologue (Eulogy Of A Man Turned Mule)” is the scene-setting first track on Mule, finding three generations of female country icons harmonizing lyrics written and arranged by Peck. In the video, they don black veils and — in an eerie alternate space — nurse uniforms as they sing his would-be eulogy. It’s a beautifully bleak ending that represents a beginning, as it turns out.

“Too Little, Too Late” hails from the redemptive back half of the set, and finds Peck dancing toward the finish line. Produced by Jay Joyce (Patty Griffin) and written by Peck with Dan Wilson (Laufey) and Steve Rusch (Beyoncé), the song embodies what it feels like to be finally secure with who you are. It’s also about having moved on when your ex comes crawling back: “Ooh they say, good things come to those who wait…” Peck croons over a rip-roaring score, before finishing the sentence: “…too little, too late.”

So far in his career, Peck has collaborated with Kylie Minogue and Willie Nelson for a cover of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other.” Elton John, Teddy Swims, Nathaniel Rateliff, Midland, Margo Price, and many, many more.
