This Desert Life by Counting Crows (CD, Nov-1999, DGC David Geffen Company USA)

I picked this one up in Seattle for 50 cents.
As always, Adam Duritz amazes you with his beautiful lyrics.
Such a talented band.
This album has a slight country feel, but is nowhere near country music.
Still rock n' roll.
Still Counting Crows.

This was a truely enjoyable album as to be expected from Adam Duritz and the Counting Crows. The best listens out there are albums that have only great tunes. There is nothing more disappointing than buying a record where some of the songs are not worth the listen. Fortunately, this and all the Counting Crows albums I have purchased have been "repeat button" purchases. The album's highlight is "I wish I was a Girl" which is one of those songs that has the ability to hit home if you've ever been at the end of a relationship with someone you truely loved.

I like the newest album best (2008) "Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings" and their 1st album (1993) "August and Everything After" is my favorite. This one is ok. If you are not a huge fan like I am I would reccommend purchasingtheir better albums mentioned above. You may be purchasing for a specific hit like "Hanginaround" then it works for this purpose if you don't do mp3 downloads. I reccommend doing a download of the songs you like on this CD.I own all 5 CD's by Counting Crows and know nearly every song by heart. This is an honest review and I hope this helps someone make their purchase decision.

I got this CD a few years back when it came out. I've lost it somewhere, and I just HAD to have another copy of it. Awesome alternative rock album.

Owned it a while ago and wanted to replace. Researched and this was the best price out there. Clean cd and great price/shipping charges. I usually like country but I seemed to attach myself to this artist in the past.
