Counting Crows

The band name is derived from "One for Sorrow", a British divination nursery rhyme about the superstitious counting of magpies, which are members of the crow family. Singer Adam Duritz heard the rhyme in the film Signs of Life, which starred his close friend, actress Mary-Louise Parker.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.monmouth.com/~jkochel/crows/articles/rolling.html |title=The Biggest New Band In America |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=June 30, 1994 |access-date=March 1, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061115214844/http://www.monmouth.com/~jkochel/crows/articles/rolling.html |archive-date=November 15, 2006 |url-status=dead}}

Here is one modern version of the rhyme:

{{blockquote|One for sorrow,

Two for joy,

Three for a girl,

Four for a boy,

Five for silver,

Six for gold,

Seven for a secret,

Never to be told.

Eight for a wish,

Nine for a kiss,

Ten for a bird,

You must not miss.P. Tate, [https://books.google.com/books?id=OFmORVI7x_EC&dq=%22one+for+sorrow%2C+two+for+joy%22+rhyme+magpie&pg=PT76 Flights of Fancy: Birds in Myth, Legend, and Superstition] (New York: Random House, 2010), {{ISBN|1409035697}}.|sign=|source=}}

The rhyme is featured in the song "A Murder of One" on the band's debut album, August and Everything After.

Adam Duritz, former member of the San Francisco Bay Area band the Himalayans, and producer/guitarist David Bryson formed Counting Crows in San Francisco in 1991.{{cite news|author=Rubenstein, Jullian|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/01/arts/when-fame-glows-bright-it-s-hard-to-be-tortured.html |title=When Fame Glows Bright, It's Hard to Be Tortured|work=The New York Times|date=December 1, 1996|url-access=subscription}}

Another friend, guitarist David Immerglück, played with them from time to time, though he was not an official member of the group, and experimented with other musicians in the area. As the emerging band recorded some demos, and as other musicians joined the duo to make a full band, Immerglück recorded with the band on some of the songs for its first album. He declined to join the band at the time, because of his membership in two other locally popular bands, Monks of Doom and Camper Van Beethoven.{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Jay N. |date=July 23, 2010 |title=Music Scene: Counting Crows full of surprises |url=https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2010/07/23/music-scene-counting-crows-full/48400209007/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240326132622/https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/2010/07/23/music-scene-counting-crows-full/48400209007/ |archive-date=March 26, 2024 |access-date=March 26, 2024 |website=The State Journal-Register |language=en-US}} By 1993, the band had grown to a stable lineup of Duritz as vocalist, occasional pianist, and primary songwriter, Bryson on guitar, Matt Malley playing bass guitar, Charlie Gillingham on keyboards, and Steve Bowman as drummer, and the band was a regular in the Bay Area scene.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}

When Gary Gersh of Geffen Records heard the band's demo tape, he was "blown away". A bidding war between nine different record labels broke out in February 1992. In April, the band—which, by that time, included other members—"signed a deal with Gersh and Geffen believed to be so lucrative that industry wags dubbed them Accounting Crows".{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1994/05/14/crows-fly-high/333c5f9b-490e-42df-9df1-7f4061a2994c/ |title=CROWS FLY HIGH|first=Julian |last=Rubinstein |date=May 14, 1994 |newspaper=The Washington Post}} On January 16, 1993,{{cite news |url=http://www.countingcrows.com/tour/gigs/ |title=CountingCrows.com Gig Archive |publisher=Counting Crows |access-date=March 1, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070210081252/http://www.countingcrows.com/tour/gigs/ |archive-date=February 10, 2007}}{{better source needed|date=December 2019}} the band, still relatively unknown, filled in for Van Morrison at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, and was introduced by an enthusiastic Robbie Robertson.{{cite news |last=Erlewine |first=Stephen Thomas |url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/counting_crows/bio.jhtml |title=Counting Crows biography |website=VH1|year=2005 |access-date=March 1, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070402233235/http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/counting_crows/bio.jhtml |archive-date=April 2, 2007}} At the ceremony, they played a cover of Van Morrison's "Caravan".{{cite web |url=https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0078VF9GE |publisher=Amazon | title=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Volume 2 1992-1994 |access-date=June 27, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-vol-2-1992-1994-live/477056336 |publisher=Apple | title=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Volume 2 1992-1994 |access-date=June 27, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvwoA-pheJk |publisher=YouTube | title=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Volume 2 1992-1994 |date=June 2013 |access-date=June 27, 2023}}{{cite web |url=http://www.countingcrows.com/?em50=727_-1__0_~0_-1_10_2009_0_0&content=adams_blog |publisher= Counting Crows|title=Adams Blog |access-date=October 23, 2009}}{{excessive citations inline|date=June 2023}}

Before signing to Geffen, the band recorded demo versions of a number of songs, known as the 'Flying Demos'. These later surfaced among the Counting Crows fanbase. Tracks include "Rain King", "Omaha", "Anna Begins", "Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)", "Shallow Days", "Love and Addiction", "Mr. Jones", "Round Here", "40 Years", "Margery Dreams of Horses", "Bulldog", "Lightning", and "We're Only Love".{{cite web |url=http://bbchron.blogspot.com/2009/11/counting-crows-1991-flying-demos.html |title=BB Chronicles: Counting Crows – 1991 – Flying Demos |website= Bbchron.blogspot.com |date=November 29, 2009 |access-date=March 29, 2012}}{{better source needed|date=December 2019}}

The band's debut album, August and Everything After, was released in September 1993. The album's first single, "Mr. Jones", refers to Marty Jones (Himalayans bassist, and Duritz's childhood friend) and Kenney Dale Johnson (the drummer of Silvertone, Chris Isaak's band).{{cite news |url=http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/06/17/090942.php |title=Interview with Drummer Kenney Dale Johnson |website=Blogcritics Magazine |access-date=June 17, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012141254/http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/06/17/090942.php |archive-date=October 12, 2007 |df=mdy-all}} It describes the desire of working musicians to make it big and the fantasies they entertain about what fame might bring.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/countingcrows/articles/story/8719090/adam_duritz_on_mrjones |title=We're gonna be big stars |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=October 31, 2005 |access-date=March 1, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070108012228/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/countingcrows/articles/story/8719090/adam_duritz_on_mrjones |archive-date=January 8, 2007}} Duritz sang the song in fun, enjoying the fantasy; he did not realize that just months later, in December 1993, MTV would begin playing the video for the song. "Mr. Jones" was a breakthrough hit,{{cite web |url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/music/2016/09/09/adam-duritz-interview-counting-crows-new-music/89972088/ |title=Interview: Adam Duritz of Counting Crows on whether fans deserve to hear the hits |work=AZCentral.com |date=September 9, 2019}} drawing massive radio play and launching the band into stardom. In 2018, the Chicago Sun-Times described August and Everything After as follows:

"August And Everything After" [launched] the Bay Area septet with its hippie-inspired, roots-rock-infiltrating hits "Mr. Jones", "Round Here", and "Rain King", (ironically, at a time when grunge dominated the charts). Counting Crows eschewed the trend, happily wearing their time-stamped influences like Van Morrison and The Band on their patchwork sleeves, and found an audience who agreed with them. That first album went on to become a seven-times-platinum success in the U.S. alone, at the time the fastest-selling record since Nirvana's Nevermind.{{cite web |url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/counting-crows-concert-tour-25th-anniversary-adam-duritz/ |title=Counting Crows celebrating everything after 'Everything After' |work=Chicago Sun-Times |date=September 7, 2018}}

With "Mr. Jones" propelling the band forward, and with positive reviews from Rolling Stone and other publications, it was decided that the band could use a second guitarist, and Dan Vickrey, another Bay Area musician was offered the role as lead guitarist, singing backing vocals. The band toured extensively in 1993 and 1994, both as headliners and in supporting roles with other artists, including the Rolling Stones, Cracker, the Cranberries, Suede, Bob Dylan, Los Lobos, Jellyfish, and Midnight Oil. In 1994, the band appeared on Saturday Night Live and Late Show with David Letterman. The album sold seven million copies in the U.S. The band received two Grammy nominations in 1994; one for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal (for "Round Here") and one for Best New Artist.{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/01/06/arts/94-grammy-nominations-not-just-the-familiar.html |title='94 Grammy Nominations: Not Just the Familiar |first=Neil |last=Strauss |date=January 6, 1995 |website= The New York Times|url-access=subscription}}

Success took a toll on Counting Crows; Duritz suffered a widely reported nervous breakdown,{{cite news |last=Strauss |first=Neil |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/10/15/arts/stars-come-out-from-under.html |title=Stars Come Out From Under |work=The New York Times |date=October 15, 1996 |access-date=March 1, 2007|url-access=subscription}} which was not his first.{{cite news |last=Greenstreet |first=Rosanna |url=https://www.theguardian.com/weekend/story/0,,894644,00.html |title=Q&A: Adam Duritz |work=The Guardian |date=February 15, 2003 |access-date=March 1, 2007}}

The band played only two gigs in 1995. This allowed Duritz to write a set of songs that became the band's second album, Recovering the Satellites. Released October 15, 1996, it was heavier than August and Everything After. A response to the sudden fame that "Mr. Jones" had brought, it contains lyrics such as "These days I feel like I'm fading away / Like sometimes when I hear myself on the radio" (from "Have You Seen Me Lately?") and "Gonna get back to basics / Guess I'll start it up again" (from "Recovering the Satellites"). Dealing with the theme of Duritz's unease with his newfound fame, the album was described as "a concept album of sorts about trying to pick up the pieces of a family, a social life and a psyche shattered by fame". This album contained the single "A Long December", which was a number one hit in Canada{{cite web |url=http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/films-videos-sound-recordings/rpm/Pages/image.aspx?Image=nlc008388.9891&URLjpg=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/028020/f4/nlc008388.9891.gif&Ecopy=nlc008388.9891 |title=Image: RPM Weekly |via=Library and Archives Canada |date=July 17, 2013}} and a Top 10 hit in the United States.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/counting-crows |title=Counting Crows Chart History |magazine= Billboard}}

On July 2, 1997, Counting Crows started off a co-headlining tour with the Wallflowers that continued to September. The tour included opening acts by Bettie Serveert, Engine 88, Gigolo Aunts and That Dog, with each opening band touring for three-weeks.{{cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fA8EAAAAMBAJ&q=Bettie+Serveert+%22The+Wallflowers%22+1997&pg=PA16|title=the Beat |first=Melinda|last=Newman|magazine=Billboard|page=16 |date=May 24, 1997 |via=Google Books}} After nine months of near-constant touring in support of the album, Duritz developed nodules on his vocal cords in July 1997, leading to the cancellation of a number of gigs.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/countingcrows/articles/story/5930346/duritz_needs_to_rest_voice |title=Duritz Needs To Rest Voice |magazine= Rolling Stone |date=July 25, 1997 |access-date=March 1, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071002044748/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/countingcrows/articles/story/5930346/duritz_needs_to_rest_voice |archive-date=October 2, 2007}}{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1427546/counting-crows-counted-in-again/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150404210831/http://www.mtv.com/news/1427546/counting-crows-counted-in-again/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 4, 2015 |title=Counting Crows Counted In Again |website= Mtv.com |access-date=March 12, 2017}} After taking time off to recover, the band toured for the rest of 1997, concluding with a MTV show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. This concert was released as half of a double live album, Across a Wire: Live in New York City. The other disc was a recording of a predominantly acoustic set from the band's appearance on the VH1 Storytellers show.{{cite web |url=https://www.nydailynews.com/free-bird-counting-crows-live-double-album-plays-faster-looser-article-1.816981 |last=Farber |first=Jim |title=Free As A Bird Counting Crows' Live Double Album Plays Faster and Looser |newspaper=New York Daily News |date=August 2, 1998 |access-date= January 31, 2021}}

In 1999, Counting Crows performed at Woodstock 99.{{cite news |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/entertainment/1999/07/26/1999-07-26_woodstock__hurts_so_good__lo.html |title=WOODSTOCK: HURTS SO GOOD LOUD BANDS, MELLOW FANS & THE JOY OF MISERY |newspaper=New York Daily News |date=July 26, 1999 |last=Farber |first=Jim}} {{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}} Later that same year, the band released This Desert Life, sales of which were propelled by the success of "Hanginaround" and "Colorblind", which was also featured in the movie Cruel Intentions. Supporting the album, the band embarked on a co-headlining tour with alternative rock band Live. Counting Crows closed nearly every show. Before this album and subsequent tour, the band invited session player and long-time friend David Immerglück to join the band as a permanent member. Immerglück had played on every Counting Crows album as a sideman, but early on had declined a permanent position.{{cite news |last=Farley |first=Mike |url=http://www.bullz-eye.com/concertreviews/david_immergluck-interview.htm |title=Interview with David Immerglück of Counting Crows |website=Bullz-Eye |year=2003 |access-date=March 1, 2007}} This time, however, Immerglück agreed. He plays a variety of instruments with the band, including acoustic, electric and pedal steel guitars, slide guitar and mandolin, as well as backing vocals.

On July 9, 2002, the band released its fourth studio album, Hard Candy. The album included a cover of Joni Mitchell's song "Big Yellow Taxi". Vanessa Carlton contributed backing vocals to the single edit of the track, which appeared on the soundtrack for Two Weeks Notice and was re-released on future Hard Candy albums.{{Cite web |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SJ&s_site=mercurynews&p_multi=SJ&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0FC59803B975261D&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D |title=Search Results |website=Mercury News |access-date=September 12, 2011 |archive-date=October 6, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181006000454/http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SJ&s_site=mercurynews&p_multi=SJ&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0FC59803B975261D&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D |url-status=dead}} The original version, without vocals by Carlton, appeared on the first album release as a hidden track. Hard Candy received better reviews than the previous efforts, with "radio friendly" songs, like "American Girls" (which featured Sheryl Crow on backing vocals), and contains a more upbeat feel and tempo. The band toured with the Dutch band, Bløf. A song, "Holiday in Spain", came together as a result of the camaraderie between the two groups: it is sung partly as a dual language duet, and partly as a musical "round", with both lead singers singing in differing languages at the end of the song.{{Cite news |url=https://www.blikopnieuws.nl/2008/blof-en-counting-crows-samen-op-concert-at-sea |title=BLOF en Counting Crows samen op concert at SEA |date=February 6, 2008 |website= Blik op nieuws}}

Midway through the Hard Candy tour, drummer Ben Mize (born February 2, 1971, Durham, North Carolina) amicably left the band to spend more time with his family and pursue his own musical interests. After Mize completed the American leg of the tour, he was replaced by Jim Bogios, formerly a drummer with Ben Folds and Sheryl Crow.{{cite news |url=http://www.voxonline.com/alternative/countingcrows/index.htm |title=Counting Crows are Riding High |publisher=Vox |date=December 11, 2002 |access-date=April 22, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070922011857/http://www.voxonline.com/alternative/countingcrows/index.htm |archive-date=September 22, 2007 |df=mdy-all}} Jim attributes leaving Sheryl Crow for Counting Crows to becoming a band member and having more creative input.{{cite magazine|author=Flans, Robyn|title=Jim BOGIOS from Sheryl Crow to Counting Crows|magazine=Modern Drummer|date=March 2008|page=24|via=ProQuest}} Following the Hard Candy tour, longtime bassist Matt Malley left the band after growing weary of touring, and to attend to his duties as a new father.{{cite web | url=https://www.freemeditation.com/news/2009/10/14/matt-malley-awakens-the-goddess/ | title=Matt Malley awakens the Goddess | date=October 14, 2009 }} He was replaced by Millard Powers.

He indicated that the band had spent three weeks working in a recording studio with Gil Norton, the producer behind Recovering the Satellites, and revealed the working title of the album to be Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings. Duritz explained that, "Saturday night is when you sin and Sunday is when you regret. Sinning is often done very loudly, angrily, bitterly, violently."{{cite news |last=Weiner |first=Ben |url=http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/entertainment/music/article_1200553.php |title=Counting Crows: Rearranged, revealing, riveting |work=Orange County Register |date=July 2, 2006 |access-date=March 2, 2007 |archive-date=September 30, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930153822/http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/entertainment/music/article_1200553.php |url-status=dead }} Vickrey stated that "the idea at the moment is to have kind of a rocking side and then an acoustic-y, maybe country-ish side. We got the first half done in May in New York, so half of it is pretty strong and done. And now we're going to work on the second half, the country tunes, during the tour."

Amidst touring in the summer of 2007, the band performed live before the Home Run Derby at the 2007 MLB All-Star Game on July 9, 2007.{{Cite web |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/bs-mtblog-2007-07-logging_the_hr_derby-story.html |title=Logging the HR Derby|first=Sheil |last=Kapadia|date=July 9, 2007 |website= Baltimore Sun}} On July 22 they previewed two new songs at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, Delaware, a new ballad titled "Washington Square" and a hard rocking track called "Cowboys". On August 8, 2007, VH1 filmed a live performance of "Mr. Jones", clips of which were shown on the miniseries 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s.

In September 2007, Counting Crows played a unique show at Town Hall in New York City, during which it performed all the tracks from August and Everything After in album order. The show was recorded for a planned DVD release, and also featured several songs from the new album.

Starting in February 2018, Duritz began recording the Underwater Sunshine Podcast, a weekly music podcast with author and music journalist James Campion.{{cite web |title=Underwater Sunshine: The Podcast |url=http://countingcrows.com/podcast/ |website= CountingCrows.com}} Having parted ways with Spaulding, Duritz and friends began putting on their own twice-annual music festival in New York called the Underwater Sunshine Fest to showcase independent music.{{cite web |url=https://underwatersunshinefest.com/ |title=UNDERWATER SUNSHINE FEST |website= Underwatersunshinefest.com}}{{cite web |last1=King |first1=Pat |title=Adam Duritz gives back to the scene with the Underwater Sunshine Festival |url=https://www.metro.us/entertainment/adam-duritz-underwater-sunshine-festival |website= Metro New York |access-date=5 March 2020 |date=4 November 2019}} The first festival, held at the Bowery Electric in October 2018, featured 17 bands over two nights. A second in April 2019 showcased 18 bands, and a third held at Rockwood Music Hall in November 2019 expanded the lineup to 26. Acts as diverse as Yellow House Orchestra, Seán Barna, Mikaela Davis, Marcy Playground, Matt Sucich, Stephen Kellogg, Stew and the Negro Problem, and Fairhazel have appeared. More bands recorded acoustic sessions at Duritz's loft the weekends of each of the festivals.

In January 2019, Counting Crows released a newly recorded version of "August and Everything After" performed with the London Symphony Orchestra at AIR Studios.{{cite web |url=https://blog.aboutamazon.com/entertainment/the-counting-crows-song-youve-waited-25-years-to-hear |title=The Counting Crows song you've waited 25 years to hear|date=January 24, 2019 |website= US Day One Blog}} The song was cut from the band's first album, which had been named after it. Duritz then revealed in late 2019 that he had begun writing new music that past August.

In early February 2020, Duritz described the band's next project as suites of music that may be released on various EPs. The band began studio sessions in late February and early March on four songs that complete the first suite: "The Tall Grass", "Elevator Boots",{{cite web |title=Counting Crows: March 4, 2020 post |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UtH0slaAh/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/B9UtH0slaAh |archive-date=December 26, 2021 |url-access=registration |website=Instagram |access-date=4 March 2020}}{{cbignore}} "The Angel of 14th Street", and "Bobby and the Rat Kings".{{cite web |title=Underwater Sunshine Podcast – EPISODE 97: Live From Here!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, without touring and being unable to work on music in the studio, a well as taking a hiatus from his podcast, Duritz began hosting cooking videos through his Instagram stories.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/counting-crows-adam-duritz-cooking-1140629/ |title=Counting Crows' Adam Duritz Has Quietly Turned His Instagram Into a Cooking Show |magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=27 April 2021 |date=12 March 2021}} Speaking with chef Tyler Florence, Duritz said the type of research he would do regarding music for the podcast he turned into exploring more about food and cooking to share with others. Duritz and Campion would return to producing the Underwater Sunshine Podcast in May 2021.

"Elevator Boots" was released as the first single for the four-track EP in April 2021, described by Rolling Stone as "a melodic, wistful ode to life on tour, with a sound that somehow manages to bridge the gap between The Band and Mott the Hoople."{{cite web |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/counting-crows-butter-miracle-suite-2021-new-album-1161414/ |title=Exclusive: Hear Counting Crows' First New Music in Seven Years |website= RollingStone.com |access-date=27 April 2021 |date=27 April 2021}} The EP, titled Butter Miracle, Suite One, was released on May 21, 2021.

At the time, Duritz told Rolling Stone that a second EP, Butter Miracle, Suite Two, would be released and together with the first form a full album. He was writing songs for the second EP, and the band planned to resume touring in the fall of 2021. In February 2022, Duritz appeared as a guest vocalist on two tracks on Gang of Youths' third studio album Angel in Realtime. Later that year, he confirmed that he had completed writing for Suite Two, but that he believed that the initial songwriting was not strong enough. He decided to rewrite the songs and add an additional composition, and that recording for the follow-up could only happen once the band was done with touring.{{Cite web |url=https://www.wttsfm.com/wtts-in-conversation-adam-duritz-of-counting-crows-2/ |title=WTTS in Conversation – Adam Duritz of Counting Crows |publisher=WTTS |date=2023-05-29 |accessdate=2023-05-29 |language=en-US |last=Pelsor |first=Matt}}
