Orville Peck apparently made some off-field contact with the Raiders — by way of a kiss. On the song “Ring the Bell” off his new album, Mule, the masked country singer casually reveals that he once “made out with a guy on the Raiders.”
Speaking with Variety, Orville Peck confirmed the lyric refers to an actual player and said he cleared the reference with him before putting it on the record. “I did receive permission to sing that lyric from the subject in question, and he was very thrilled,” Peck said.
Permission and Privacy
Peck isn’t saying who the mystery Raider is, though he said the player likely would have been comfortable with being named. He also stressed that he wouldn’t have included the encounter if doing so risked outing someone who wanted to keep their sexuality private. For now, he’s left the rest to listeners’ imaginations.
New Album and Tour
“Ring the Bell” appears on Peck’s fourth studio album, Mule, which arrived on September 18th. The record comes ahead of his previously announced “Man Turned Mule Tour,” launching in late October and running through November. Look for deals and sold-out tickets for upcoming Peck shows via Vivid Seats, where fans can save $20 off their first order of $200 or more by using promo code COS20 at checkout.
In conclusion, Orville Peck’s new album Mule is now available, and his upcoming tour is highly anticipated. With his unique sound and intriguing lyrics, Peck continues to captivate his audience. As for the mystery Raider, it remains to be seen if their identity will ever be revealed, but for now, Peck has left it to the imagination of his listeners.
