"These Days" was a 1991 album by The Grapes of Wrath.

Produced by John Leckie, the album found the band attempting to expand their traditional folk rock sound in a more guitar-heavy alternative rock direction.

Although the album sold well, and spawned the hit singles "You May Be Right" and "I Am Here", it was not as popular with audiences or critics as its predecessor, 1989's "Now and Again". Guest musicians on the album included Phil Comparelli and members of XTC (credited as the "Dukes of Stratosphear".)

"These Days" was the band's final album of new material for almost a decade. Following the album, Kevin Kane left the band, citing creative differences. The remaining members carried on under the new name Ginger.

Kane and Tom Hooper reunited in 2000 to record "Field Trip" under the Grapes of Wrath name, although the other band members did not participate in that project.
