Bill Callahan continues to open uncanny depths of expression, blazing one of the most original singer-songwriter trails out there. Applying the living, breathing energies of his concerts to this album production, he sharpens his slice-of-life portraiture to cut deeper, releasing a stream of singalong consciousness – poetic, cinematic, novelistic, comedic – and above all, musical.
The core musicians featured on My Days Of 58 are the group that toured for 2022’s YTI⅃AƎЯ: guitarist Matt Kinsey, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi and drummer Jim White. The album also features contributions from Richard Bowden (fiddle), Pat Thrasher (piano), Chris Vreeland (bass), Mike St Clair (trombone), Bill McCullough (pedal steel), Eve Searls (backing vocals), and Jerry DeCicca (tambourine).
“Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music,” says Callahan. “It’s all about listening to yourself and others. A lot of the best parts of a recording are the mistakes – making them into strengths, using them as springboards into something human.”
Bill Callahan will release “My Days Of 58”, his eighth album under his own name name, via Drag City on February 27th.
