American band Counting Crows was a big name in the 1990s and early 2000s. Since they scored a hit with Holiday In Spain with Zeeland's
Bløf, the band has also won a special place in the Netherlands. In recent years, the band around singer Adam Duritz decided to slow down, but never completely disappeared from sight. With Butter Miracle: The Complete Sweets, the Americans seem to be back at full

The songs have an obvious feel-good character and a high back-to-the-nineties content, but never become superficial. Few bands live up to that. (JV)more
