About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Like any band that could conceivably be called alternative in the '90s, Counting Crows released a lot of multi-part singles loaded up with non-LP B-sides and had songs given away on compilations and soundtracks, but they truly jumped into that game after their 1994 debut, August and Everything After. After recording that first album, they didn't have much left in the vault, so the singles contained live versions and acoustic versions of songs from the album. The only major non-LP song was "Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)," originally released on the 1994 various-artists comp DGC Rarities, Vol. 1, and since that was pulled for the 2003 hits collection Films About Ghosts, there wasn't much reason to recycle it for this 2007 double-disc deluxe edition of August. Without previously released songs to round up, the deluxe edition concentrates on previously unreleased tracks -- a whopping 19 of them. Most of these tracks are the 13 songs performed at the last show of the August and Everything After tour, performed in Paris and captured here for posterity. It's a good show, but of greater interest to fans are the six previously unreleased demos, three of them acoustic, on the first disc, including a version of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." Nothing here is essential, but it's all good, and when combined with liner notes from Adam Duritz, it makes for a nice package for dedicated fans. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

September 23, 2007: Adam Duritz often takes much criticism for being the rock start that doesn't want to be. At the end of the day the man is more like any of us then we realize. Popping in disk 2 which is the Paris concert, read the essay written by Adam and you start to get a sense of the reason of his reactions early on. This is a man who at some point wanted the mad success they achieved, but at the same time it scared him to death. If you want a band that replicates the sound of their CD each time, find someone else--or just listen to the studio CD's. But we need to remember that the band is the artist in a medium that never dries or never cures. Its in flux, always changing, being bent or roughed up or smoothed whenever the artist pleases. For the true fan - - how could you not want the demos and the tracks from Paris. The essay alone gives the look into the fragility of a band just learning their way. For the uninitiated, listen openly and find in your heart just some of the things this artist is sharing with you. This isn't manufactured music or hook lyrics to catch your ear. These are feelings and emotions that not too many artists dare capture let alone display show after show.
