Counting Crows formed in 1989 when singer Adam Duritz and guitarist David Bryson hooked up in San Francisco and began performing acoustic music in local coffee-houses.

 Just OK August 28, 2008
I LOVE the Counting Crows music, but this CD did not impress me at all. I listened to it once and threw it in a drawer. If you are a fan, you will not glean anything from this CD that you didn't already know. Save your money.

The unmitigated nerve of putting out a CD on the Counting Crows with ABSOLUTELY no music is bad enough. However, it's certainly not as bad as it gets. You have to listen to insipid writing voiced by some "I'm trying to be hip" English woman, who pronounces things like Los Lobos as "Los Lo-Boss" for no other reason than to be irritating. You learn a few things. Adam Duritz played with The Himalayans and recorded "Round Here" with them. Marty Jones of The Himalyans is Mr. Jones of the song. Adam worked at the Viper Bar owned by Johnny Depp after recording "August and Everything After." He dated Courtney Cox and wrote "A Long December" about their relationship. (Courtney Cox went on to marry David Arquette; obviously, she keep her standards awfully low.) Anyway, now you know all there is to gleaned from the CD, without having to become annoyed. A waste of time, a waste of effort, a waste of money. Adam Duritz is very talented, and Counting Crows is a great band. They deserved better. Someone who loves them ought to pull this travesty off the market.

THIS CD HAS ABOSOLUTELY NO MUSIC ON IT WHATSOEVER!!!! If anyone has written a review suggesting otherwise, then they are mistaken - and are probably referring to a real Counting Crows album - all of which are very good - unlike this pile of pants.

The Counting Crows are my favorite band; however, this CD is quite horrible. After opening the thing, I sadly realized it was nothing more than a documentary with little more than "midi" music files playing rather horribly in the background while a British woman talks about the life and times of the Counting Crows. If you are doing research on the band, then this CD will be beneficial, but (as I am sure most of you are) if you want to hear some good CC music, then this is definitely not the CD for you. There is not one, I repeat, not one song on this CD. Thanks.

I didn't like this CD at all - I felt kind of cheated. This CD is just some lady reciting Counting Crows history, and there is no cc music. I ordered this months ago and never finished listening to it. If you need to have all the cc stuff in the world, buy it. If you haven't bought all the cc cd's start there first.
