Good Ol' Days is the third album of Canadian country music duo the Reklaws. It was released on November 4, 2022, via Starseed Records. It includes the previously released single "11 Beers", as well as six previously released songs from 2021 and 2022, including "What the Truck". The album was nominated for "Country Album of the Year" at the 2023 Juno Awards and was named the "Top Selling Canadian Album of the Year" at the 2023 Canadian Country Music Awards. Background
Most of the tracks on Good Ol' Days were written during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stuart Walker of the Reklaws stated that the album is "a collection of tracks that tell the story of what we were going through at the time," adding that it "allows us to close that time of our lives and look forward to what's in front of us". The three tracks "Middle Fingers", "People Don't Talk About", and "Good Ol' Days" were the only new songs on the album, while the rest of the songs had already been released, with the exception of an acoustic version of "What the Truck". The title track "Good Ol' Days" was later sent to Canadian country radio in January 2023. Critical reception
James Daykin of Entertainment Focus favourably reviewed Good Ol' Days, calling it a "classy album full of uptempo party songs and tender, emotional ballad", adding that it has "refreshing naivety to it that comes across as both authentic and very meaningful", while noting the "strength of [the Reklaws'] vocals and the cleverness of their writing ability". Melissa Wiseman of Canadian Beats Media stated that with this album the Reklaws "prove why they are unstoppable when it comes to breaking down boundaries in country music". Track listing
