The wistful, rootsy rock band Counting Crows formed in San Francisco's Bay Area in the early 1990's. Several of the members fragile-voiced singer/songwriter Adam Duritz, guitarist David Bryson and bassist Marty Jones had been active in a previous combo, The Himalayas, and had a natural musical report. The band's scruffy appearance and the timing of their debut LP, August And Everything After, often get them lumped in with the grunge scene but, while the Seattle sound was loud and angry, The Crows trade in thoughtful, melancholy tunes about everyday life. The hit radio staple "Mr. Jones" was a Gen X favorite and took the album 7X platinum. Counting Crows went on to tour with fellow alt-rockers Live and their 1996 follow-up album, Recovering the Satellites, focuses heavily on dealing with unexpected fame with another set of well-crafted, comfortable rock tracks. 2000's The Desert Life brought the band another radio hit the slacker-rocker "Hanginaround." In 2000 they released Hard Candy, which featured the bitter-sweet single "American Girls" and found The Crows teaming up with Vanessa Carlton on their cover of the Joni Mitchell classic "Big Yellow Taxi." The acoustic rockers landed their original track "Accidentally In Love" on the smash soundtrack to the CGI blockbuster Shrek 2 and were surprisingly nominated for an Academy Award. They Counting Crows have since toured to rave reviews with young pop-rockers Maroon 5, John Mayer and the Graham Colton Band. The Counting Crows have maintained their popularity as a thoughtful, hard-working rock combo similar to their classic rock idols and their devoted audience are eagerly anticipating their upcoming LP, tentatively titled Saturday Night, Sunday Morning.
