 (2 Customer Reviews)
For their first album since 1998's MUSICAL CHAIRS, Hootie and the Blowfish enlisted the aid of production doctor Don Was in an effort to get back on track after a four-year layoff that found Darius Rucker and Mark Bryan releasing their own solo efforts. Sounding refreshed and recharged, this roots-rock quartet hit the ground running, mixing in the twangy country-rock of "Little Darlin'," soaring "When She's Gone" (featuring background vocals by Indigo Girl Emily Saliers), and catchy mid-tempo rocker "Space." Rucker's exploration of R&B roots on his solo outing BACK TO THEN made for a ripple effect that can be heard on songs like the pleading power ballad "I'll Come Runnin'" and soulful "Little Brother," with its hearty harmonies and Was's snappy organ contributions. The boys even manage to sneak in a sweet cover of the Continental Drifters' "The Rain Song" complete with harmonies by Drifters Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill, that serves as the bow on this package of solid roots-rock.
One of 2003s most eagerly anticipated musical events. This self-titled collection is the first new album in more than four years. Recorded in Venice CA with renowned producer Don Was. Atlantic.

Hootie & The Blowfish
 $6.99 
Principally recorded at N.R.G. Recording Services, North Hollywood, California and Reflection Studios, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Still entirely comfortable with their reputation of being the ultimate bar band despite having released a debut that sold around 15 million copies, Hootie & The Blowfish regrouped for their fourth album with a covers record featuring rarities and previously unreleased material. Hipsters may sneer at the unassuming musical delivery and Joe Six-Pack personae, but the band's dedication to its fans extended to spearheading an Internet campaign that found voters picking a third of the songs on this collection.
Of the five songs picked by web fiat, artists who get the Hootie treatment include Led Zeppelin (a mandolin-driven "Hey Hey What Can I Do"), The Smiths (a note-perfect "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"), and the New Grass Revival (a harmony-laden "Let Me Be Your Man"). The Hootie selections that round out this surprisingly diverse bag include R.E.M., whose "Driver 8" is given a dirge-like arrangement, and a punky rendition of The Reivers' "Araby" that offers some ...
| | Warren Zevon Wind CD (2003)
Hootie & The Blowfish
$14.95  
THE WIND won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Keep Me in Your Heart" was nominated for Song Of The Year and for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "Disorder in the House" won for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and was also nominated for Best Rock Song.
With the specter of a terminal lung cancer diagnosis hanging over his head, Warren Zevon responded by rallying to make THE WIND, an album that found him working with longtime collaborator and friend Jorge Calderon, shortly after getting the news. The result is a tight group of 11 songs wrapped up in a year, despite a diagnosis that only gave Zevon three months to live. Along the way, plenty of famous names--both friends and fans--pitched in, including Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Dwight Yoakam and Don Henley. Allusions to his situation are naturally sprinkled throughout, whether it's partying in the face of doom ("The Rest of the Night"), using a self-penned blues song to look back with no regrets ("Rub Me Raw"), or pledging his eternal love ("El Amor De Mi Vida"). Even Zevon's cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," avoids the pitfall of sentimentality as he can be heard bellowing "open up, open up" in the background of the song's chorus sung by Tommy Shaw, ...
| | Hootie & The Blowfish Best Of Hootie & The Blowfish (1993 Thru 2003) CD (2004)
Hootie & The Blowfish
$23.75 
Recorded between 1994 & 2003. Includes liner notes by David Wild.
In the '90s, when Nirvana and Pearl Jam were popularizing angst-ridden grunge, Hootie & the Blowfish took sunny, all-American pop-rock to the top of the charts. This greatest-hits collection chronicles the band's first 10 years of stardom, and includes their ubiquitous chart smashes ("Hold My Hand," "Only Wanna Be With You," "Let Her Cry") as well as a few lesser-known tunes to fill out the sonic portrait of an American musical phenomenon.
Producers include: Don Gehman, Don Was, Pete Masitti, Spencer Proffer, Mark Williams.
Compilation producers: Hootie & The Blowfish, Karen Ahmed.
Personnel: Darius Rucker (vocals, guitar, dobro, percussion); Crosby, David & Graham Nash (vocals, background vocals); Edwin McCain (vocals); Mark Bryan (guitar, mandolin, piano, percussion, background vocals); David Immerglück (electric guitar, slide guitar); Peter Holsapple (mandolin, organ, background vocals); Rachel Purkin, Joel Derouin, Bruce Dukov, ...
| | Brian Wilson Smile CD (2004)
Hootie & The Blowfish
$16.19
Between 1967 and 2004, the SMILE sessions were pretty much the Dead Sea Scrolls of pop music. Well documented as head Beach Boy Brian Wilson's answer to the Beatles' masterpiece SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (which was itself largely an answer to the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS), the tracks laid down in '67 for the projected SMILE album were the furthest afield anyone nominally operating under the pop/rock umbrella had ever ventured. Notoriously, intraband conflict (Mike Love, in particular, found the Wilson/Van Dyke Parks-penned conceptual work too far out) kept the record from being released. With several oceans' worth of water under the bridge, Wilson finally decided to finish the aborted project three-and-a-half decades later, adhering closely to the original blueprints. The results are as timelessly breathtaking as the original version must have been to the lucky few who first heard the initial tapes.
With sterling support from his backing band the Wondermints, Wilson meticulously pieced together the conceptual, orchestral puzzle of SMILE into a rewarding, cohesive whole. Even decades down the line, it still sounds miles away from anything else in the world of popular music. A series of extended vignettes tied together with seamlessly arranged ...
| | Hootie & The Blowfish Looking For Lucky CD (2005)
Hootie & The Blowfish
$14.25
Hootie & the Blowfish emerged in the mid-1990s as the people's band,
purveying an amiable brand of all-American roots rock full of optimism
and devoid of irony. Naturally, in the process, they rose to the top of most hipster rock critics' hate lists, but endeared themselves to millions of listeners nevertheless. Some 10 years after their peak of popularity, LOOKING FOR LUCKY found them still defying their detractors by relentlessly pursuing their sun-dappled musical vision. Though by this time the band was recording for an indie label, neither their wide-screen production style (John Mellencamp producer Don Gehman is behind the board) ...
| | Andy Williams Honey/Happy Heart CD (1999)
Hootie & The Blowfish
$10.69 
HONEY originally released on Columbia (9662). HAPPY HEART originally released on Columbia (9844). Includes liner notes by Mark Marymont.
Andy Williams' successive LP releases of 1968 and 1969, Honey and Happy Heart, are well-paired on this two-fer CD reissue. At this point in his career, the versatile Williams, who had found his greatest success covering movie theme songs, but also ranged from light rock to venerable standards, was completely devoted to recording his versions of current hits. It was a popular notion at the time that middle-of-the-road singers like him could maintain their popularity by turning to soft rock, and Williams proved that theory by reaching the Top Ten and earning gold records with these LPs, which featured his versions of songs better known in recordings by Glen Campbell, Simon & Garfunkel, the Association, the 5th Dimension, Stevie Wonder, Elvis ...

Hootie & The Blowfish
$13.95
Rough Trade recently reached the ripe old age of 25. To celebrate, they decided, among other things, to have some of their current artists do covers of songs released on Rough Trade in the past. Not a bad idea. Stop Me if You Think You've Heard This One Before features 16 of these covers, oddly none of them a Smiths song even though that Rough Trade band gave the disc its title. As with most compilations of this nature, there are peaks and valleys. The most obvious valleys are Delays' bloodless version of Mazzy Star's "Ride It On" and the Veils' clattering version of Scritti Politti's "Lions After Slumber." The flatland would be the two overly imitative covers of Galaxie 500: the Tyde's version of "Tell Me" (with a lead vocal even more wobbly than Dean Wareham's) and British Sea Power's version of "Tugboat." Climbing up the summit you'll find the anti-folk contingent, who acquit themselves well; Adam Green does no harm to the Young Marble Giants' "Eating Noddemix" and Jeffrey Lewis romps through the Television Personalities' "Part-Time Punks." Elsewhere, Oneida does a wild cover of James Blood Ulmer's manic "Jazz Is the Teacher, Funk Is the Preacher," the Fiery Furnaces do rough justice to the Fall's clattering "Winter," and the Hidden Cameras do a lush version of the Clean's "Dunes." Two Strokes songs get the treatment; Royal City countrifies "Is This It" very pleasingly, while the Detroit Cobras remove the crazed rush of energy from "Last Nite" ...
