ADRIAN THRILLS reviews: Counting Crows: Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! Stone me! The Crows are back with a classic
ADRIAN THRILLS: The overwhelming success of their debut album, August And Everything After, proved to be a mixed blessing for Counting Crows.
That richly textured 1993 release, produced by T-Bone Burnett, sold well over seven million and propelled the hard-working band from the San Francisco Bay Area to rock superstardom in the blink of an eye. August And Everything After has also overshadowed most of the music the band have made since the 1990s – something they have tacitly admitted with occasional revamps of their glittering debut: a deluxe edition in 2007; a track-by-track live version in 2011; an orchestral rendition of the LP's previously unreleased title track in 2019. Yorke sings and speaks in a husky croon on The White Cliffs, while Pritchard — an avid collector of vintage synths — supplies retro flourishes similar to those used by Pink Floyd and The Beatles in the 1960s on Bugging Out Again.
