Darius Rucker achieved more mainstream fame as the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish but when he struck out on his own in a solo career he showed a very versatile style that reflected R&B, Country and Pop. Rucker is not likely to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo act, but the Country Music Hall could come calling one day.

A lot of big things were pegged for Hootie and the Blowfish. Their 1994 album, Cracked Rear View, dominated the radio with their mainstream appeal of Country and Blues based light Rock and Roll found a massive audience and an unexpected “cool” appeal. They never did replicate that success and though that was expected, it wasn’t expected just how fast they seemingly fell off the radar. They did have a period of success that most bands could only dream about but they haven’t been cited as influential in many circles.
