In 1993, Counting Crows' debut album, 'August and Everything After,' went multi-platinum, selling more than seven million copies in the U.S. alone. Lead singer Adam Duritz joined Tom Power for a wide-ranging conversation about 'Mr. Jones' (the song that started it all), how there’s no going back after becoming famous, and what it was like playing his cover of 'Big Yellow Taxi' to Joni Mitchell herself.
