description
re one of the most successful bands of the past three decades, selling more than 20 million albums and touring the globe every summer. Fronted by charismatic singer and songwriter Adam Duritz, the Crows are renowned for infectious hits such as "Mr. Jones," "A Long December," and "Accidentally in Love," as well as their powerful live concerts, which continue to draw thousands of fans.


Rain King: The Life and Music of Adam Duritz and the Counting Crows tells the complete story. This meticulously researched biography chronicles Duritz's triumphs as well as his struggles with mental health, fame, and relationships. Here for the first time is the lost history of the singer's scattered upbringing, as well as new insights into the decade he spent in obscurity on the San Francisco music scene. Here at last are the real stories of Anna, Elisabeth, Maria, and A-listers such as Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, all of whom Duritz chronicled in his deeply personal song lyrics. Also cataloged are Duritz's battles with his record company, his fight for artistic freedom, and his skirmishes with celebrities such as Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder.


Most importantly, Rain King dives deeply into Counting Crows' music, chronicling the often difficult process of writing and recording each of their six full-length albums, and how Duritz and the Crows reimagined these musical works on the road. Rain King is both a celebration and an unflinching historical account of one of rock's most compelling and enduring artists.
