California rock/pop ensemble Counting Crows has settled on a track list for an upcoming greatest-hits album, “Films About Ghosts.” The collection is due Nov. 25 from Geffen Records. “Films About Ghosts” comprises selections from each of the band’s four studio albums as well as the rarity, “Einstein on the Beach,” the new song “She Don’t Want Nobody Near” and a newly recorded cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Friend of the Devil.”
Both of the new tunes were produced by Brendan O’Brien; the former is tapped as the lead single and hit radio last week. The Dead cover was performed over the weekend at both Bridge School Benefits outside San Francisco.
Other cuts set for the album include “Round Here,” “A Long December,” “Mr. Jones,” a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi,” “Hangin’ Around,” “Anna Begins” and “Angels of the Silences.” “Einstein on the Beach” is taken from the 1994 Geffen label compilation “DGC Rarities Vol. 1.”
