[ROCK] In 1993, the Counting Crows unleashed their gorgeously orchestrated debut album, August and Everything After to an audience unprepared for such an original and honest sound. “Mr. Jones” burned up the charts with its thick melodies and Adam Duritz’s passionate vocals. Twenty-one years and five albums later, the Crows are back with Somewhere Under Wonderland to remind us that they have evolved, but their songs can still penetrate the soul. Their sound is familiar on the slow piano dirge ballad, “Possibility Days,” but rollicking cuts like “Scarecrow” and “Earthquake Driver” have a crunchy, hippie-country twang, pushing their boundaries to show growth. Catch the Counting Crows with Citizen Cope and Hollis Brown at Artpark on Wednesday, September 2.
