Biography

Edit

Counting Crows put in the gigging hours during the early days of the band, and it paid off. By the time they signed to Geffen in 1993, they had already built up a significant fanbase. Their debut, August and Everything After was released later the same year and became an unexpected multi-platinum hit, partly as a result of the successful single "Mr. Jones". Soon after, lead singer Adam Duritz found himself overwhelmed by the success, and had a nervous breakdown. Eventually out of the unhappiness came the second album, Recovering the Satellites (1996).

This Desert Life was released in 1999 and its success was due, in part, to the success of the singles "Hanginaround", and in particular "Colorblind", which was used for the movie Cruel Intentions. Hard Candy was the next release in 2002 and after a greatest hits album Films About Ghosts (2003), and a live album, New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall (2006). Their most recent studio album Saturday Nights, Sunday Mornings was released in 2008.
