With their stunning craftsmanship and a classic sound DEEPLY rooted in whistlestop America, the anthems and rural overtones which distinguish the songs on AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER evoke the same kind of visceral reaction which once greeted The Band. But AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER is not an exercise in nostalgia. Some listeners have reacted to vocalist Adam Duritz's gruff, ecstatic vocals in the way they once responded to such dark angels of revelation and regret as Van Morrison and Michael Stipe. On "Time And Time Again," Duritz conjures up a startling sense of longing and loneliness, as the listener is drawn in and consumed by a spooky sense of space and solitude. Credit must go to producer T-Bone Burnett, who has gotten a lot of mileage out of similar themes and sounds. He frames Duritz's fervent vocals in Charlie Gillingham's mysterious keyboards and David Bryson's supple guitar, to particular effect on "Sullivan Street," where Maria McKee's harmonies give the tune a forlorn country resonance. All in all, there's a tactile, spiritual air to Counting Crows' tunes, as if by losing yourself in their lyric loneliness, by boarding their "Ghost Train," you could lose your own isolation.

| Editorial reviews | |
| Included in Rolling Stone's Essential Recordings of the 90's. Rolling Stone (05/13/1999) Included in Mojo's 25 Best Albums of 1994 - A T-Bone Burnett - produced masterpiece awash with echoes of Van Morrison and R.E.M.... Mojo (01/01/1995) ...awesomely assured, a near-perfect example of that exhilarating mix of soul, R&B, folk, country and rock n' roll that Gram Parsons extravagantly defined as `Cosmic American Music'.... Melody Maker (03/05/1994) 4 Stars - Excellent - ...What's most impressive about AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER is how many such moments [of cinematic worlds] there are... Rolling Stone (10/28/1993) 4 stars out of 5 -- Songs such as 'Mr. Jones' and 'The Rain' have a warmth that disguises the more general tone of the lyrics... Uncut | |
