Description

Four studio albums into their hugely successful career, Counting Crows' present the requisite "Best Of" package, Films About Ghosts. Spanning the 10 years since August and Everything After slow-burnt its way into homes across the world, it also features two new songs (as is the standard these days), their recent cover of "Big Yellow Taxi" and a live bonus track. Newie "Friend of the Devil" is a rousing, acoustic addition that distantly echoes "Walking in Memphis", and "She Don't Want Nobody Near" is rockier, balancing out some of the more sedated moments here. Interestingly, there are a mammothmore… five tracks from August… compared with just two from 2002's Hard Candy ("Holiday in Spain" and "American Girls"--ill advised covers don't count) and a couple from This Desert Life. This is hardly surprising considering the disparity between their first and last albums, although they have not suffered in quite the same way that Hootie and the Blowfish have done. Recovering The Satellites is thankfully better represented and tracks such as "A Long December" and "Angels of the Silences" deserve their status so high up in the tracklisting. Films About Ghosts is an essential starting point for anyone coming to the Crows for the first time, and a fine collection that will no doubt please most of their earliest fans too. --Cortman Virtue
