Counting Crows : Echoes Of The Outlaw Roadshow review

You've got to hand it to Adam Duritz and his feathered friends – every gig they play is different, a far cry from the formulaic computer-controlled shows served up by their rivals.

This live set, recorded last year and released ahead of a forthcoming April 19 visit to Birmingham’s 02 Academy, is a barnstormer, collecting fan favourites and covers from the recent Underwater Sunshine album.

There’s no Mr Jones, but a reworked Round Here and a mash-up of Rain King and Elbow’s Lippy Kid hit the mark.
