| | Hootie & the Blowfish : Cracked Rear View - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | Hootie & the Blowfish's debut album, Cracked Rear View, was the success story of 1994/1995, selling over 12 million copies. |
 | | Still, the songs wouldn't be convincing without the emotive vocals of Darius Rucker, whose gruff baritone has more grit than the actual songs. |
 | | At their core, Hootie & the Blowfish are a bar band, but they managed to convince millions of listeners that they were the local bar band, and that's why Cracked Rear View was a major success. |
