Adam Duritz joins Kyle Meredith to dive deep into Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!, the long-awaited completion of Counting Crows’ two-part album project. The singer opens up about the two-year pause he took due to a crisis of confidence, and how a record by Gang of Youths inspired a complete rewrite where he scrapped and reworked an entire batch of songs for the first time in his career. Listen above or wherever you get your podcasts.

During the in depth conversation, Duritz reflects on Counting Crows’ early days, including why B-side “Einstein on the Beach” was released against his wishes, how fears of backlash shaped their post-August and Everything After strategy, and what really happened to the lost master tapes from Recovering the Satellites. He also touches on fan-favorite deep and unreleased cuts like “Baby I’m A Big Star Now,” “Margery Dreams of Horses,” and “Shallow Days,” and why the band still hasn’t made a rarities compilation.
Plus, hear Duritz passionately recommend the new Led Zeppelin documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin, discuss the timelessness of animated films like Shrek, and share how songs like “Spaceman in Tulsa” and “Angel of 14th Street” grapple with America’s treatment of marginalized groups.
