"Days of Gold" is a song written by Jaren Johnston and Neil Mason, two-thirds of the American country music group The Cadillac Three, and originally recorded by them on their 2012 self-titled debut album.[1] It was covered by American country music artist Jake Owen. It was released in August 2013 as the first single and title track from his fourth studio album of the same name. The song, about the singer's description of a summer night, garnered positive reviews from critics.
"Days of Gold" peaked at No. 15 and No. 19 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts respectively. It also reached No. 83 on the Hot 100 chart. The song also charted in Canada, reaching No. 28 on the Canada Country chart. A music video, directed by Mason Dixon, was created for the single.
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, saying that "‘Days of Gold’ isn’t a song, it’s a statement. It’s a show-closer, and if Owen’s new album comes with songs that match this authority, he’ll be soon closing shows for much larger audiences."[2] Giving it an "A", Tammy Ragusa of Country Weekly said that it "has an in-your-face grit and texture that suits his natural vocal and endless energy." She also wrote that the lyrics are "less about a season and more an about an attitude" and "[take] a less overt approach while still staying true to a rural lifestyle."[3]
