For many people, the crows sort of faded out after that, surfacing now and again with a few minor hits, but this a myth when you look at how many successful albums they've had over the years '. 'Recovering The Satellites'. 'Across A Wire', 'This Desert Life' and ''Hard Candy.' It's good to see all their hits collected together in one album, letting us witness just what good performers and song-writers Counting Crows actually are. And it's an added bonus that there's some new material here too. 'Friends Of The Devil' is a cover of the Grateful Dead classic which the Crows really make their own, while 'She Don't Want Nobody Near' is a brand new Counting Crows track and is proof that after 10 years they still possess the talent to write great rock songs. 'Films About Ghosts..' is a great collection of songs from a great band and is a definite must-have for any Counting Crows fans. Send A Comment BACK TO INDEX BACK TO MUSIC REVIEWS INDEX |
