Masked country singer <a href="/tags/orville-peck">Orville Peck</a> announces the deeply personal new album ‘Mule’, due on 18 September, and shares ‘Too Little, Too Late’. The thirteen-track project follows a difficult period involving addiction, recovery, heartbreak and the gradual process of rebuilding a life behind the famous mask. Rather than hiding those experiences beneath larger-than-life cowboy mythology, Peck places them at the centre.
The tracklist traces a journey through songs such as ‘Rehab Blues’, ‘The Fall’, ‘Run Out Of Road’ and the closing title track. Opening piece ‘Prologue (Eulogy Of A Man Turned Mule)’ features Emmylou Harris, Noah Cyrus and Allison Russell, giving the album an appropriately communal beginning. ‘Too Little, Too Late’ turns the arrival of an apologetic former lover into a confident country-rock dismissal. Good things may come to those who wait, but apparently not indefinitely and certainly not after the chorus has moved on.
