Review of the Counting Crows CD This Desert Life

Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better This Desert Life gets. This Desert Life put simply is one of their best CDs to date.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.

I’m of the opinion that This Desert Life is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3 - Amy Hit The Atmosphere, track 8 - I Wish I Was A Girl, and track 10 - St. Robinson In His Cadillac Dream

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Hanginaround. Outstanding!
