Counting Crows’ Adam Duritz on Butter Miracle, Lost Songs, and Live Favorites

Adam Duritz joins Kyle Meredith to dive deep into Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!, the long-awaited completion of Counting Crows’ two-part album project. The singer opens up about the two-year pause he took due to a crisis of confidence, and how a record by Gang of Youths inspired a complete rewrite where he scrapped and reworked an entire batch of songs for the first time in his career. Listen now.During the in depth conversation, Duritz reflects on Counting Crows’ early days, including why B-side “Einstein on the Beach” was released against his wishes, how fears of backlash shaped their post-August and Everything After strategy, and what really happened to the lost master tapes from Recovering the Satellites. He also touches on fan-favorite deep and unreleased cuts like "Baby I'm A Big Star Now," “Margery Dreams of Horses,” and “Shallow Days,” and why the band still hasn’t made a rarities compilation.Listen to Adam Duritz chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
