Bill Callahan has announced a new album. My Days of 58 arrives February 27, 2026, and its first single, “The Man I’m Supposed to Be,” is out now. Listen to it below.
Callahan’s last studio album was YTILAER—or YTI⅃AƎЯ—which he followed with the 2024 live album Resuscitate. The band that played on that record remains in place on My Days of 58: guitarist Matt Kinsey, tenor saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, and drummer Jim White. Those shows, says Callahan in press materials, showed “that they could handle anything I threw at them.” He adds: “Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music. 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.”
The album also includes 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).
