UK fans have had to wait four years to see Counting Crows on stage again, but they\u2019ll hardly be complaining in 2013: to coincide with the much awaited tour, the San Francisco rockers are about to release their newest collection of live songs Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow on 8th April through Cooking Vinyl which will compliment other official live recordings the band has released.<\/p>\n
Counting Crows followers are in for a real treat with this collection of audio footage which was recorded on several dates of their North American tour in 2012. The band\u2019s performances have been renown since the early 90s for their energy and uniqueness: no two shows are the same, with Adam Duritz constantly rewriting songs and mixing them up live for an evening always full of surprises. <\/p>\n
”After having one of the best and most adventurous touring years of our career, it’s really satisfying to collect some of the best moments and document them for everyone to hear. I’m glad we didn’t just let the moment pass us by.” Says frontman Adam Duritz.<\/p>\n
Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow was recorded and mixed by Shawn Dealey, who worked with the band on their latest studio release Underwater Sunshine. Complete track list as follows:<\/p>\n
01 – Girl From the North Country
\n02 – Round Here
\n03 – Untitled (Love Song)

\n12 – Rain King
\n13 – Le Ballet d’Or

Counting Crows have sold over 20 million albums, including 5 Top 20 studio albums in the UK (3 of them charting in the Top 10) and all 5 hitting Top 5 on the Billboard 200. The band\u2019s 1993\u2019s debut August and Everything After went platinum seven times, and their first official live release \u2018Across A Wire: live in New York City\u2019 was also platinum in the US and reached n.27 in the UK. <\/p>\n
