Hi folks, please note that PG Music gave us permission to link to this cover song on the User Showcase. It received over 30,000 streams in a month (mostly Spotify) and features, as do all our songs, Band-in-a-Box tracks. This is an exception to their posting protocols and we much appreciate them allowing it to be posted ... and for enabling us over the past 14 years to explore so many genres and have so much fun doing so.
Last year J&B and Peter produced an EP of 8 cover songs … a first for us. These Days (Peter’s idea/production) was placed on several popular Spotify playlists. The placement on the most popular list was for 28 days for which time it resided next to a Linda Ronstadt tune which was very humbling.
Other than Janice’s vocals and Peter’s guitar all of the tracks on all the songs are PG Music RT’s, RD’s and MST’s.
If interested in listening we’ve provided a YouTube link (not a video) as Spotify requires membership.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
A great song by a master songcrafter, sung wonderfully by a gifted vocalist. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks, team, for putting this together. Fantastic to see you have some success in a world where cat videos rule. Hope the numbers keep growing for you!

It doesn't surprise me that you got over 30K streams. You three are so darn good together. Everything you post sounds professional. Great work Janice, Bud, and Peter.

Janice, Bud & Peter This is a brilliant song, performed and produced by the best talent in this weird music buisness where the cream (unfairly) doesn't always rise to the top. Congratulations and thank you for setting the musical bar so high for us mere mortals (me at least) to aspire.
That is an amazing cover of a great song. Congratulations on the Spotify placements - quite an accomplishment and so well deserved. Everyone should be listening to your music.
Congratulations, ya'll! What a great idea. Wishing you all the continued success (and more!) your talents so richly deserve.
This is a fabulous version and a great showcase for each of you, as well as BiaB.
This song always slays me. Hard to believe JB was only 16 when he wrote the first version.
Thank you very much. We were immediately interested in the idea as there are not many lady versions of it. And YES we have often marveled at a teen writing such a song. We appreciate your generous comments!

Thank you Izzy. You are too kind. You and others here have helped set that high bar. We certainly love a good mix and mastering but ultimately if the song has soul we are in.

Janice, Bud and Peter Firstly, happy 80th Bud! Well done to both for keeping active! I had never heard this Jackson Browne song - having grown up and immersed in the Britosphere, so I don’t have the historical ears. I listened to the original and your cover - Janice’s vocals superb as ever, and Peter’s guitar work and arrangement provides a wonderful backdrop that acknowledges the original but also provides something different. I thought the increase in BPM was an improvement also. Well done on your achievement - I gave it a spin on Spotify. Andrew
Yeah. I can claim maybe 1000 of those spins. Congrats to you 3. I am very serious when I say you guys are my favorite band. Love all you do!!!
Thanks Marty. Your kind comments and support are always much appreciated!
