Saturday Throwback: Counting Crow's August and Everything After

Released in the fall of 1993 and produced by T-bone Burnett, Counting Crows` debut album, August and Everything After is one of those records that is still as powerful to me today as it was when I first heard it. The album is still the band`s most commercially successful, and in my opinion is the best work they`ve put out. I think you`d be hard pressed not to find someone who can sing the chorus from ``Mr Jones``. August and Everything After is chock full of haunting lyrics and gorgeous melodies. ``Anna Begins`` is hands down one of the most emotionally powerful songs I`ve ever heard. Take a listen.
