Информация о артисте
Биография: КАУНТИНГ КРОУЗ (Counting Crows) американская рок-группа, исполняющая альтернативный поп-рок и американский трэд-рок. Образовалась в 1989, когда певец Адам Дюритц (Adam Duritz, р. 1 августа 1964, Балтимор, шт. Мэрилэнд) и гитарист Дэвид Брайзон (David Bryson, р. 5 ноября 1961 в Сан-Франциско, шт. Калифорния) начали выступать в клубах и кафе Сан-Франциско под названием COUNTING CROWS. Для записи первого альбома в группу были приглашены басист Мэт Малли (Matt Malley, р. 4 июля 1963), клавишник Чарльз Гилинхэм (Charles Gillingham, р. 12 января 1960) и ударник Стив Боумэн (Steve Bowman, р. 14 января 1967). В 1991 вышла демо-версия альбома, песни для которого написал Дюритц. Необычное сочетание мрачных текстов Дюритца и ритмов семидесятых принесли популярность группе в местных клубах и привлекли внимание Робби Робертсона. COUNTING CROWS начали выступать как группа сопровождения, а в 1993 записали дебютный альбом «August and Everything After», благосклонно принятый критиками и 93 недели продержавшийся в 200 лучших альбомов благодаря песне Mr. Jones. Было продано около шести миллионов копий альбома, признанного одним из самых успешных дебютов. В 1993 в группу пришел гитарист Дэн Викри (Dan Vickrey). Стива Боумана, организовавшего собственную группу, заменил бывший ударник CRAKER Бен Майз (Ben Mize, р. 2 февраля 1971). 1994 стал поворотным в карьере группы. Ее музыка стала известна широкой аудитории. Впервые в 1994 COUNTING CROWS организовали собственные гастроли сначала по США, а затем и по Европе, приняли участие в нескольких телевизионных шоу. Видео на песню Mr. Jones было удостоено премии MTV. В 1995, когда группа записывала альбом «Recovering the Satellites», COUNTING CROWS получили «American Music Award» как «Лучшая группа, исполняющая альтернативную музыку». В 1996 альбом был выпущен и сразу занял первое место в чарте Billboard 200, а в следующем году стал дважды «платиновым». В ноябре-декабре 1997 они вновь выступили в концертных залах Европы. В 1998 был записан двойной диск группы «Across the Wire: Live in New York City», а в 1999 третий студийный альбом «This Desert Life», ставший «золотым». Четвертый альбом, «Hard Candy», спродюсированный Стивом Лилиуайтом (Steve Lillywhite) и записанный в 2002, был выпущен в нескольких вариантах разными звукозаписывающими компаниями и был рассчитан не только на поклонников группы в США, но и на любителей музыки COUNTING CROWS в Европе. Он стал пятым в чарте Billboard 200 в 2002. В июне 2006 года группа выпустила «New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall», компиляцию из живых выступлений c тура 2003 года в поддержку альбома «Hard Candy», который помимо ранее изданых треков содержит также несколько бонус-треков, таких как «Hazy» и кавер на песню «Blues Run The Game».
25 марта 2008 года был выпущен пятый студийный альбом группы «Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings», содержащий 14 треков. Альбом занял 12 место про продажам альбомов Великобритании в 2008 году.
Также, 27 марта 2008 года группа записала «Live from SoHo», который был выпущен исключительно для iTunes.

Counting Crows is an American rock band originating from Berkeley, California. Formed in 1991, the group gained fame in 1993 following the release of their debut album, titled 'August and Everything After', when track "Mr. Jones" became a big hit. Known for their melancholic yet melodic songwriting, the band started when singer Adam Duritz (previously of The Himalayans and Sordid Humor) teamed up with guitarist David Bryson (local producer and former member of the band Mr. Dog) in San Francisco, California in 1990. Counting Crows originally performed as an acoustic duo, playing gigs in and around the cities of Berkeley and San Francisco.
For the group's first album, Adam and David added bassist Matt Malley, multi-instrument talent Charlie Gillingham, and drummer Steve Bowman. David Immergluck served as the second guitarist on the first album, but he did not officially join the band until 1999. Guitarist Dan Vickery was added just as the band set out on their first tour. As stated before, 'August and Everything After' provided the band with a surprise yet very welcome success, garnering them critical praise. Released on September 14, 1993 through Geffen Records, the album hit #2 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, showing that their tunes had tapped into something.
Counting Crows, with their intimate and confessional yet smooth, often catchy musical approach, achieved a large fan base among melodic rock fans over the years. Their 90s acclaim reflected that a significant music scene looked for something different from the raging guitars of the Seattle-based grunge movement as well as from either boilerplate pop music or the budding electronic music subgenres. The group kept on releasing new songs into the new millennium.
The band's more recent successes include the 2004 hit song "Accidentally In Love", which was featured on the Shrek 2 soundtrack (that has sold over 1,000,000 copies). That song has also garnered nominations for a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. That same year, the band released their first ever best of set, which they titled 'Films about Ghosts'. That album features songs from every phase of the Counting Crows' recording career. To date, the band has sold over 20 million albums worldwide.
The group made the news when 'Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings' was released on March 25th, 2008. In addition, on January 16, 2008, the band released a digital EP as a free download on their official web site, consisting of the songs "1492" and "When I Dream Of Michelangelo". The lead single from the album was "You Can't Count On Me", which was released for radio play on February 4, 2008.
The album itself is thematically and stylistically divided into two parts: the first, more rock-influenced Saturday Nights, and the second, more country-influenced Sunday Mornings. Theme changes along with style; in the Sunday Mornings portion of the album, songs become more reflective. The iTunes release contains several bonus tracks, including a track-by-track interview with Duritz.
