Four singles were released from the album, the highest charting of which was "Mr. Jones", which peaked at number 5 on the Billboard US Radio Songs Chart and number 2 on several genre-specific Billboard charts.[8] The album itself was well received by critics and has gone multi-platinum in several countries, including the U.S. where it has sold over seven million copies, and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

The album cover depicts handwritten lyrics to a song called "August and Everything After", but the band decided against featuring the song on the album; it was not until over a decade later that it was played as part of one of their live concerts. The song "August and Everything After" was released on January 24, 2019, as an Amazon Original.[9]

On September 18, 2007, a two-disc deluxe edition of the album was issued. The first disc contains the original album, remastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering, with six demos added as bonus tracks. The second disc is taken from the band's penultimate performance during the August tour, recorded at the Élysée Montmartre in Paris, France, on December 9, 1994.

The album August & Everything After: Live at Town Hall was released on August 29, 2011, featuring live recordings of the songs from this album. More than 6 million copies of the album have been sold by February 2002 in the US.[10]

[it] August and Everything After

August and Everything After è il primo album della band californiana Counting Crows, pubblicato il 14 settembre 1993 dalla Geffen Records. È stato certificato sette volte disco di platino negli Stati Uniti per aver venduto oltre 7 milioni di copie. L'album si pose all'interno della scena musicale dell'epoca come alternativa al sound più aggressivo del Grunge, trattando di temi quotidiani e malinconici accompagnati da chitarre meno distorte e ritmi più lenti. Il disco deve parte del suo successo al singolo Mr. Jones, ispirato dal bassista Marty Jones, collega nonché grande amico di Adam Duritz, cantante della band. Nel 2007 è stato ripubblicato con l'aggiunta di inediti, demo e un secondo CD contenente un concerto del 1994 a Parigi.
