COMPILATION OF ACOUSTIC COUNTING CROWS BROADCAST RECORDINGS Formed in 1991 in San Francisco s Bay Area by singer Adam Duritz and guitarist David Bryson, Counting Crows took their name from the English nursery rhyme about Magpies, One For Sorrow . Augmented by Charlie Gillingham (keyboards, piano, accordion), Dan Vickrey (lead guitar), David Immerglück (lead guitar, pedal steel, mandolin, bass guitar), Jim Bogios (drums, percussion) and Millard Powers (bass guitar, piano, guitar), the band recorded their mega-successful debut, August and Everything in 1993, a record which featured the hit single, Mr Jones . Throughout their heyday the Crows would regularly play acoustically, and this compilation features fifteen such performances, in all cases recorded for radio or TV broadcast between 1992 and 1997. Including unplugged versions of CC favourites plus a host of rarities and obscurities, some long sought after, this release is sure to prove a sonic delight for Counting Crows fans worldwide.
