WTTS In Conversation – Adam Duritz of Counting Crows
‘WTTS In Conversation’ is a bi-weekly podcast delivering decades of WTTS interviews with music legends and emerging artists.
For Episode #61, Morning host Matt Pelsor asks Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz about a great “lost” Counting Crows song that only exists on the end credits of the movie Rounders. He also asks Adam about his focus on the sequence of songs on Counting Crows albums, and the songs that were casualties of that obsession. Adam also shares the great rock & roll story about the recording of “Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby.”
Counting Crows play TCU Amphitheater at White River State Park on June 17th.
