Editor's note

Darius Rucker, from Hootie to country solo

The Hootie & the Blowfish frontman who carved out a second act in Nashville.

For a sense of his solo sound, try "Leavin' The Light On" or "Homegrown Honey." They're straightforward country songs that feel lived-in, not like a crossover play.

Rucker's move from rock radio to country charts wasn't just a genre switch. His first solo single "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" hit number one, and songs like "Homegrown Honey" kept him there. As a Black artist in country music, he quietly built a catalog that sidestepped easy categories.

He first became known with Hootie & the Blowfish in the early 1990s. After years with the band, he started a solo career in 2008, releasing albums like "Learn to Live" and "Charleston, SC 1966."
