Biography

With their angst-filled hybrid of Van Morrison, the Band, and R.E.M., Counting Crows became an overnight sensation in 1994. [roviLink="MC"]"Mr. Jones," the only uptempo song from the debut album August and Everything After, was their ticket to success, and Counting Crows followed its popularity with a string of singles including [roviLink="MC"]"Round Here," [roviLink="MC"]"A Long December," and [roviLink="MC"]"Hangingaround." Driven by Adam Duritz's expressive vocals and a melody-based songwriting style that owed much to the late '60s and early '70s, the band continued to hone its sound over future releases. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
