The Story Behind: Counting Crows - August and Everything After, Ep. 268

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  Counting Crows were a Bay Area band that made a demo tape and started a bidding war overnight. Allan, Phil, Marty, and Rob get together to discuss the whiny 90s, white guys with dreadlocks, and making your hit songs unrecognizable in the live show.  Join the comment thread NOW available on our free Patreon to continue the conversation about this episode and get early access to the weekly show 100% ad free, plus 60+ bonus shows like Song Battle and Guilty Pleasures https://www.patreon.com/1001AlbumComplaints Join our Mailing List here: https://linktr.ee/1001albumcomplaints Email us your complaints (or questions / comments) at [1001AlbumComplaints@gmail.com](mailto:1001AlbumComplaints@gmail.com) Listen to our episode companion playlist (compilation of the songs we referenced on this episode) here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4nfbjCGwsmljDeJb9H9rLA?si=bf5f04baafa94515 Listen to *August and Everything After* here: https://open.spotify.com/album/4nKfZbCALT9H9LfedtDwnZ?si=28AJavQzRVWDlCRM8EmF6g And our international playlists continue to grow: Thai, German, Sweden  1, 2, & 3, Italian, Australian,  Belgium 1 & 2 Intro music: When the Walls Fell by The Beverly Crushers Outro music: After the Afterlife by MEGA Follow our Spotify Playlist of music produced directly by us.
