Bill Callahan discusses his new album My Days Of 58, a warm, live-room recording shaped by a cancer scare and family life, featuring intimate songs like Empathy and Lake Winnebago, and traces his collaborative work with Noah Cyrus and Will Oldham, his take on technology in modern life, licensing music for film/TV, and reflections on his career from Smog to recent projects.
Bill Callahan’s My Days of 58 is a candid midlife reckoning born from a cancer scare, addressing mortality, his relationship with his late father, and his role as a husband and father. The album blends intimate, living-room folk with buoyant horn arrangements, and even features a Lou Reed-inspired heaven encounter in its lyrics. In conversation, Callahan discusses aging, touring versus home life, and expanding his creativity into prose and teaching, all while maintaining his signature razor-sharp lyricism and reflective storytelling.
