Album Review
Hootie & the Blowfish's debut album, Cracked Rear View, was the success story of 1994/1995, selling over 12 million copies. It's a startling, large number, especially for a new band, but in some ways, the success of the record isn't that surprising. Although Hootie & the Blowfish aren't innovative, they deliver the goods, turning out an album of solid, rootsy folk-rock songs that have simple, powerful hooks. "Hold My Hand" has a singalong chorus that epitomizes the band's good-times vibes. None of the tracks transcend their generic status, but they are strong songs for their genre, with crisp chords and bright melodies. 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.

Hootie and the Cavemen! :D
by NevilleCitylolno more needs to be said.
The first album is still the best!
by JikangireWhat can I say? This is still by far the best Hootie & The Blowfish album, they have never been able to top it! Ever since this album came out I have been waiting for them to release another album that is just as good or even better, but alas it has not happened. Now don't get me wrong, there are some great songs on their other albums, but only one or two per album, sometimes three. However, as I said before, this album is full of great songs! "Hannah Jane", "Hold My Hand", "Let Her Cry", "Only Wanna Be With You", "I'm Goin' Home", "Drowning", and "Time" are all masterpieces!
One of the best
by Seminoles99This album has and will still remain the lone musical representative of the culture of the Carolinas. South carolina that is.
