Counting Crows – Films About Ghosts

Counting Crows’ uncanny ability to merge roots-oriented songcraft with commercial-radio aspirations has always defined them more readily than any of their individual songs, albums or members. So while this decade-spanning set includes all the familiar tunes—“Mr. Jones,” “Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman),” “A Long December”— chances are pretty good that the two new ones (including a Grateful Dead cover and a glossy original, “She Don’t Want Nobody Near”) will be recognizable, too.
