August and Everything After Songwriting Credits by Counting Crows

Duritz is credited as lyricist on every track on August and Everything After, and the composer credits map his writing partnerships in detail. About half the songs list only his own legal name, Adam Fredric Duritz, as composer, meaning he wrote words and music alone on cuts like 'Omaha,' 'Perfect Blue Buildings,' 'Ghost Train,' and 'Raining in Baltimore.' On the singles, David Bryson receives a music credit alongside Duritz, reflecting the guitar parts and chord structures he brought to 'Mr. Jones,' 'Rain King,' 'Sullivan Street,' and 'A Murder of One,' where bassist Matt Malley also shares a credit. 'Round Here' carries the album's widest credit list because Duritz set his Crows era lyrics to music written years earlier in his pre-Crows band the Himalayans, so Chris Roldan, Dan Jewett, and Dave Janusko share the composer line with Bryson and Duritz. 'Anna Begins' and 'Time and Time Again' extend the same pattern, pulling in outside collaborators Lydia Holly, Marty Jones, and Toby Hawkins on the former and keyboardist Charlie Gillingham, drummer Steve Bowman, and producer Don Dixon on the latter. Across the album Duritz's voice and words anchor every song while the music credit shifts to reflect whoever in the room helped build the parts underneath him.
