Wikipedia article"'16 Days'" is a song by alternative country band Whiskeytown and written by Ryan Adams. It first appeared on Whiskeytown's 'Strangers Almanac' album in 1997, and was released that same year as a CD single. An earlier version of the song recorded during the band's "Baseball Park" sessions was released on the 1998 reissue of the band's first album 'Faithless Street'. And an alternate, acoustic version of the song also recorded during the "Baseball Park" sessions was released on the 2008 deluxe edition of 'Strangers Almanac'.Skiing Jan 1998 Vol. 50, No. 5 "Like Whiskeytown. Their Stranger's Almanac (Outpost) recycles pop hooks worthy of Jackson Browne, but with a country twang. Lap and pedal steels, banjos, and violins conspire on open-road raves like "Turn Around" and "Sixteen Days."" According to Ryan Adams, the song was released as a single and was getting significant radio airplay until, in a fit of anger, he dared a powerful West Coast radio programmer to take the song off the air. The programmer obliged, and the song soon disappeared from radio playlists. Cover versionsThe song has been covered by The Clarks on their album 'Songs in G'.
