Counting Crows update

Hey people,

I almost sent you an email last week to tell you that we are no longer on vacation and lots of cool things are coming up very soon…but then Berger’s Mom pointed out that I was basically saying

“Hey! Guess what? Nothing! Stay tuned for something!”

which is, I think we can all admit, a little dopey so…I didn’t send it. Thank you Mrs. Berger.

Instead, after only a brief but thrilling 5-day delay, I’m here to make it up to you. The album art contest was a huge success for Creative Allies with more than a thousand entries, the most they’ve ever received. It’s an even bigger success for us since we got our album cover from it. I’m going to show it to you but before I do, I just want to thank all of the artists, especially Martin Bedford, Chris Ray, Susan Sullivan, Rudy Martinez, Alessandro Nazzani, & Frank Germano who put in so much extra time doing revisions for us.

Sooooooo…below is the cover and the songs and (to make up for the 5-day delay) here’s a free download of “Mercy”. Dig all that and I promise you we’ll be right back real soon with more cool stuff (like when we’re coming to see YOU!)
