Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
Encyclopedia
Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is the fifth studio album by Counting Crows
, released in the United States on March 25, 2008. It is thematically divided into two sides: the rock music
of Saturday Nights and the more country
-influenced Sunday Mornings. Vocalist and lyricist Adam Duritz
states that the album "is about really wanting to mean something and failing to do it. You want your life to mean something. You want to be somebody and then what you turn out to be is so much less than what you thought you were going to be."
The Saturday Nights portion was produced by Gil Norton
(who also produced the band's second album, Recovering the Satellites
), while Sunday Mornings was produced by Brian Deck
, perhaps best known for his production work on Modest Mouse
's album The Moon and Antarctica
.
To promote the album, the band performed on Private Sessions
, Good Morning America
, The Late Show with David Letterman, The View, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
.
The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200
, the band's highest peak since Recovering the Satellites

explained he had, emotionally and physically, reached a nadir:
" (then an out-take from the Hard Candy sessions) that he began thinking: "There's this album here":
After initial slow progress, Duritz has mentioned that, realizing Gil Norton was scheduled to produce the Foo Fighters
' record "Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace" at the beginning of March, the band agreed to reconvene with Norton for another several weeks to complete the material at hand.
Duritz claimed the band's decision to draft Brian Deck as the producer for the "Sunday Mornings" half of the record came out of frequent Internet research:
After some initial studio sessions and brainstorming, Duritz then realized a thematic significance and cohesion of the two records:
Duritz also described the recording process for "You Can't Count On Me":
From mid-March through mid-April 2007, the band recorded "Sunday Mornings" in Berkley. After Duritz took a two-week break, the band would reconvene with their engineer James Brown to mix the "Saturday Nights" half of the record from late-April to mid-May, followed finally by over three weeks of intensive mixing of "Sunday Mornings" throughout the remainder of May 2007. By early June the album was mastered.
The album was also the #1 Amazon.com
download upon its original release, additionally mentioned while performing on The View by Whoopi Goldberg
(a friend of Adam Duritz
).
" (as the A-side) and "When I Dream of Michelangelo" (as the B-side). The latter song appeared at the end of an episode of the ABC
series Brothers & Sisters.
The lead commercial single, "You Can't Count on Me
," was released to radio on February 4, 2008. A music video for the song was released on March 20, 2008. It would go on to peak at #2 on Billboard's Adult Alternative chart (also known as the Triple A format), held off the top spot by R.E.M's "Supernatural Superserious
" and briefly charted on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Singles chart, peaking at #35.
While there has been no follow-up physical single releases, two album tracks have been serviced as airplay singles to the Adult Alternative format; both of which have enjoyed strong airplay. "Come Around
" first charted the format in summer of 2008, and went on to top the chart the week of September 19, 2008 (it remained the #1 single for four weeks). A third track, "When I Dream of Michelangelo
" (previously released as half of the "digital 45" that preceded the release of the album) would make its first chart appearance on the Adult Alternative chart in December 2008, and has since peaked at #7.
