Counting Crows Wrap 2003 With Best-Of Set, 'Films About Ghosts,'
Which Features Two New Tracks SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 27
/PRNewswire/ -- Coming off one of the summer's most successful
tours, co-headlining with John Mayer and playing to over 600,000
people in 38 cities, Counting Crows is set to release "Films About
Ghosts," their first-ever "Best Of" collection. The Geffen Records
album features songs from every phase of Counting Crow's ten-year
recording career. Also included, two new tracks, "She Don't Want
Nobody Near" and a sensational cover of the Grateful Dead classic
"Friend of the Devil." Both were produced by Brendan O'Brien (Limp
Bizkit, Pearl Jam, Korn, and Bruce Springsteen's recent hit album,
"The Rising"). "Films About Ghosts" arrives in store November 25th,
while the single "She Don't Want Nobody Near" impacted radio last
week, becoming the # 1 most added song at AAA and # 3 most added at
Hot Adult Contemporary. Over the last two years, Counting Crows
have toured the world, breaking new markets and attendance records
alike. "Hard Candy," their most recent studio album, has sold over
1.3 million worldwide. The band's cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big
Yellow Taxi" was a Top 10 hit earlier this year. Counting Crows
debuted in 1993 with "August and Everything." Subsequent albums
include "Recovering the Satellites" (1996); "Across A Wire: Live in
NY" (1998); and "This Desert Life" (1999). Altogether, Counting
Crows has sold more than 18 million albums worldwide. This past
weekend (10/25-26), Counting Crows played both shows at the Bridge
School Benefit Concert at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain
View, CA. The band joined Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Willie
Nelson, Pearl Jam, Incubus, Wilco, Dashboard Confessional, and
others for this memorable annual event. Counting Crows will
announce more tour dates soon at http://www.countingcrows.com/.
