Jeff’s Playlist: August and Everything After

Counting Crows — August and Everything After

Released in 1993, this music shot up the charts. I liked it and con­tin­ued to fol­low Counting Crows until they stopped releas­ing albums in 2014. This was a great debut. Give it a lis­ten; I think you’ll agree.
