Song of the Day: Mr. Jones

Counting Crows' song Mr Jones off the August and Everything After album. I paid for this song and the music is by counting crows.

Mr. Jones by the Counting Crows. The first single from the Counting Crows debut album August And Everything After, which was released in December of 1993. Mr. Jones was the first radio hit the band had, charting at #2 in the US, #1 in Canada and #7 in France, catapulting the band into mainstream success. The debut album itself was no slouch, August And Everything After peaked at number 4 on the US charts and album has since sold over 7 million copies in the US alone. Granted it’s definitely deserving of every bit of that if not more, August And Everything After is one of the best 90’s albums there is, in my opinion. The album doesn’t have a bad song, it has a handful of hits, and it just doesn’t get old. I mean what other boxes could you want an album to possibly check off?
