Tag: My Days of 58

I don’t think we all listen to enough of Bill Callahan; I’m not saying that he’s going to solve world issues, but hearing a new single immediately brings me to a place where I can find my own peace. When you press play below, you’re going to meet a deep-throated croon and lower octave strums; those heavier notes begin to embrace a lighter, hopeful strum, which in turn, changes Bill’s voice. For moments, he flirts with pop stardom, as string arrangements buoy his notes, only for Callahan to retreat into his more solemn delivery. Like all his work, it feels as if he’s operating as if each song has its own linear plot, twisting and turning until the tune hits a climactic moment that highlights his songwriting craft; the accents and nuance in the backing arrangements definitely highlight each little movement. Drag City will release My Days of 58, which comes out in February of next year!
