Days Like These - Janis Ian (worktape version)

This is the original worktape of "Days Like These". I'd taken the song to a wonderful A&R person, Martha Sharp, wondering if she knew any artists who'd record it. I was pretty down and out at the time, desperate for financial help and a little bit of hope. Martha was great; she said although she had no artists it would suit, it was one of the best songs she'd ever heard, and she'd like a copy of it. I confessed that I couldn't afford afford a recording studio (that was before easy home recording), and she asked Randy Scruggs if he'd let me use the studio as a favor. I laid it down, and eventually recorded it myself. Eventually, John Mellencamp recorded me singing it for a film he was making. Although no one else has covered it to date, it remains, for me, one of my best songs. https://store.janisianstore.com/colle...
