Recovering the Satellites is the second album by Counting Crows, released in 1996. Released three years (and two years of relentless worldwide touring) after their debut album, it reached #1 in the United States and was a top seller in the U.K., Australia and Canada as well.
For this album, the quintet became a sextet, with fellow San Franciscan Dan Vickrey added, contributing a second guitar as well as sharing in songwriting credits on four of the fourteen tracks. Steve Bowman was replaced as drummer by Ben Mize.
