Produced by T Bone Burnett and blending influences from the likes of U2, The Band, REM, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, the universally-lauded album spawned numerous hit singles including “Mr Jones”, “Round Here” and “Rain King”.
Returning to London for the first time since two sold-out shows in 2014, Counting Crows will perform a selection of songs from the album, along with hits from across their varied back catalogue, when they headline BluesFest at The O2 Arena in London on Sunday, October 28th.
