Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker

Major life themes—falling in love, birth, and death—create the foundation for the songs on Darius Rucker’s most recent “Learn to Live” album, including tracks such as his first country single, “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” “It Won’t Be like This for Long,” and “Alright.”

Though Rucker may be a newcomer to the country stage, he’s been an immensely successful singer and songwriter since the 1994 debut of Hootie & The Blowfish’s Grammy Award-winning album “Cracked Rear View.” The band soared to success in the pop music genre with Rucker’s soulful, rich baritone and witty lyrics. Now, as a solo performer, Rucker has returned to his South Carolina roots and kinship with country music performers and songs, releasing his first solo album in 2008.

Since beginning his country career, Rucker has been welcomed with open arms by country music fans, radio stations, and fellow artists, as well as maintaining the support of his Hootie & The Blowfish fans, helping make “Learn to Live” a Billboard 100 chart-topping album.
