If American Idol started in the early 90's andl the show put a band together with the second place winner (I think second place the spot the rock vocalist places ) they would have been called Counting Crows. Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing, it's just what I imagine when I listen to this album. August and Everything After is soft rock at it's finest. There's a reason T-Bone Burnett produced this album and a reason why it became the fast selling album since Nirvana's Nevermind. Adam Duritz has an incredible voice and the rest of the seven piece band put together some really creative music. Oh sure, you might pretend to be too indie for this band, but damn it! I know when you driving alone and Round Here comes on the radio you are singing it at the top of your lungs. They're polished musicians, they're fun and creative. You'll love them, even if you don't tell anyone you do.
Songs you should give a listen
