Counting Crows recently stopped by The Howard Stern Show ahead of their upcoming North American tour with The Gaslight Anthem. During their appearance, the group performed a cover of Taylor Swift’s “The 1,” followed by their 1996 hit “A Long December.” Watch a replay below.
The stripped-down performance of “The 1,” the opening track from Swift’s 2020 album, folklore, centered around lead singer Adam Duritz playing the piano. With the minimal backing of an accordion, the deliberate pace of Counting Crows’ rendition allowed for a smooth transition into “A Long December.”
