One of my favorite bands, Counting Crows, is set to release their new album, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings on March 28, 2008. This is the band’s first studio album since Hard Candy was released back in 2002. It has been about six years in between albums, but the Counting Crows still have a strong following since they first released “Mr. Jones” in 1993.
Adam Duritz had this to say about the new album, “Saturday night is when you sin and Sunday is when you regret. Sinning is often done very loudly, angrily, bitterly, violently.” The album is split up in to two halves, the Saturday night half and the Sunday morning half.
The Counting Crows are allowing fans to get a little preview of the new album. They recently released two of their new songs, “1492” and “When I Dream About Michelangelo”. You can visit their website countingcrows.com or you can click here to download these songs for free. This is a great treat to loyal fans. Neither of these songs are set to be their first single but it gives us a little taste of the album as a whole. “You Can”t Count On Me” will be their first single, set to be released on February 4th.
It is time to get excited about the Counting Crows again.
Will there be any updates in the near future?
I need my 90’s fix!
