I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect with this book - other than obviously I was going to buy it and read it. They were the first band that I ever fell in love with and I never fell out of love with. It’s not an understatement for me to say that I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for Hootie & the blowfish. It was a travel through time behind 10 stars? I was completely blown away by the level of detail and research Tim Sommer put into this story.
Featuring new and extensive interviews with the band members, some of the band's most famous fans, and stories from the recording studio, tour bus, and golf course, this book is essential reading for Hootie lovers and music buffs.moreġ0 stars?

It’s a mega bummer.Experience the exclusive, behind-the-scenes story of one of the biggest bands of the nineties In 1985, Mark Bryan heard Darius Rucker singing in a dorm shower at the University of South Carolina and asked him to form a band. It gets fun right when it’s about to end. In fact, it’s not until there are about 10 seconds left that he starts vocalizing and letting loose. Sadly, the music really doesn’t live up to what we’re seeing. You can’t help but smile when you see his animated self floating in a bubble and escaping death-by-fire because it’s Post Malone - and we all LOVE Post Malone. It’s a shame because he’s so talented and loveable. Playing it safe just doesn’t suit Post Malone well at all. One would argue that if you’re going to completely go there, the moment to do that would be a Pokémon music video. On the flip side, Post Malone’s approach feels mostly one-note and emotionless. Darius Rucker’s singing style is slight twang mixed with passionate yearning and, spoiler alert, it absolutely works.
A post shared by twelve carat toothache makes the original version by Hootie and the Blowfish so endearing, in large part, is its vocals.
