[pullquote quote="My guts are all over these songs." credit="Adam Duritz"]Their first release since Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings in ’08, Underwater Sunshine is stacked with obscure covers from Bob Dylan to Big Star. The album was recorded over two weeks late last spring and features songs hand picked by Adam Duritz, plus new versions of songs from the pre-Counting Crows era groups, The Tender Mercies and Sordid Humor.

Below, you can take home the new Counting Crows cover of Tender Mercies’ “Mercy.”
