Counting Down 25 Days Until Taste Of Country 2013 With Rob Banks' Top 25 Darius Rucker Songs

Rob Banks — Mon, 20 May 2013 06:16:01 +0000

I am a massive Hootie & the Blowfish fan -- they put out two of my all-time favorite albums, 'Fairweather Johnson' and 'Cracked Rear View' (which can be played 13 times all the way through before you make it to Myrtle Beach from Buffalo -- I've tried). So when I heard they were disassembling, I was ticked.

With that bad news, who knew that a great new career -- Hootie frontman Darius Rucker's solo country career, of course -- was going to come from it?

Josh — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 09:39:31 +0000

When Darius Rucker (Hootie) joined the country music family...I said to myself, "what an acquisition!" The guy has a very distinguishable voice that sat dormant after Hootie & The Blowfish fell off the map. That's just the way the music biz works. They chew you up and spit you out. Luckily, someone in Nashville felt that Darius could make it in the ever-changing country music genre. So far, Rucker has had a lot of success as a country artist.
