The track originally appeared on his Grammy Award-winning studio album Mule Variations, “Get Behind the Mule (Spiritual)” comes as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations.
Speaking of the release, he said: “Definitely part of the original idea was to do something somewhere between surreal and rural. We call it surrural. That’s what these songs are: surrural. There’s an element of something old about them, and yet it’s kind of disorienting…”
“Get Behind the Mule (Spiritual)” is out now.
