A song and Greg photo gallery for the version of this song that I think is the best.

Thanks for posting this thread. Awesome rendition of These Days.

Always have been a big Allman Brothers fan.

I believe Jackson Browne has given credit to Gregg Allman for the arrangement of the song as it appeared on Browne’s album ‘For Everyman’.

This song is from Allman's solo album "Laid Back" from 1973. It is one of those records where every song is good. I long lost the 33 LP I had but found a CD on line. I highly recommend this album.

So great.
The Allman Brothers Band was simply the best.

As much as I enjoyed Greg Allman, I still greatly prefer Tom Rush's version of "These Days." It's got a very nice and relaxing '60s folk vibe with a wonderful string accompaniment.

Wiki -->

"These Days" was written by Jackson Browne and recorded by numerous artists. Browne wrote the song at age 16; its lyrics deal with loss and regret. It was first recorded by Nico in 1967 for her album Chelsea Girl, and Nico's arrangement was recorded by several other artists. Tom Rush recorded the tune with a string arrangement for his album Tom Rush in 1970.

I had no idea the song was written by Jackson Browne or that he was only 16 YEARS OLD when he wrote it. How in the world can a 16 year old write so beautifully about loss and regret?

I bought the Tom Rush album when it came out and still love it.

Loved Gregg. Loved the Allmans. Loved Loan Me A Dime with Boz Scaggs in Muscle Shoals. Love this song. I think Jackson Browne wrote this song when he was around 16. How?

Glen Campbell did a great version of this song on one of his final albums (better than Jackson ever did, frankly).

I saw Jackson Brown perform it recently at the Coach House in Capo Beach. I wanted to hate it because of his lefty politics but I have to admit that it was amazing. Oh well??
