Is, they officially (outside of just their yearly SC gig) got back together in 2018. Released a new album in 2019. They re-released it in 2020 with a version of Losing My Religion as the extra/bonus track :)

Darius went from Hootie and the Blowfish to country. His voice is perfect for the story telling that is done in country songs. Please do more of him. Try 'Wagon Wheel'

He wanted to be country all along, but believed them when they told him a black man wouldnt be accepted in country. Better late than never I say.

Top Secret: In 2002, Darius Rucker made a brief stop as a late '80s/early '90s R&B singer. His album Back To Then was not so successful, and he didn't get great radio airplay. I think it was just bad timing; the market had moved on from that style. But it's full of terrific songs and Darius is a hell of a singer. Exodus is simply beautiful - check out this alternate video on KZread: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iGajrqWBk6ysctI.html

It's HOOTIE!!!!!! He was lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish LOL

He’s not Hootie. He’s a blowfish. But I do the same thing when they come on the radio- Hootie!!!

React to hootie and the blow fish. Let her cry. You'll like it.

My mom dropped me off for Kindergarten and I walked down the block back home. When my Mom finally showed up, she drove me right back to school. She had been at her best friend's house crying that her baby was starting school. 😆

Hootie

You guys should react to "let her cry" by hootie and the blowfish. Great song. Darius Rucker was the lead singer for them in the the 90s

He is a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Love him.

"Come back song" by Darius is a great song or "Let her Cry" by Hottie

That is so true! Enjoy every second my baby was 2 yesterday and she’ll be 28 this year.

Darius Rucker is a Carolina guy. Grew up in Charleston,SC & has a home in Charleston, SC & Raleigh,NC. And Jai, if you know Hootie & the Blowfish, he is the lead singer. They played a HUGE concert for Veterans Day on a inclined street in Fayetteville, NC(Fort Bragg). Best thing about it was, it was FREE. This was many years back. But, it was awesome hours of beautiful music for free.

He got his start as hootie. He still goes back to the bar he got started in (Windjammer) down in Isle of Palms, SC. Does free shows there. Humble guy who never forgot where he came from.

His song “History in the Making” WILL be my wedding song, whether my partner likes it or not haha

Darius Rucker is from my hometown, Charleston SC!!!! There’s a street named after him!

❤️ Darius said he always wanted to sing country music and he does a great job at both Country and Rock

Darius rucker has always been an amazing singer. The dudes voice is second to none and he is a gift to the genre.

He is an awesome singer and an even better country singer. Love him!

Song similar to this is “you’re gonna miss this” our kids sang it at graduation!

Darius Rucker is it!!!! Grew up loving Hootie and then he went solo years back and has been HUGE in the country industry.

I love Darius Rucker’s voice. My favorite song of his is with Hootie and the Blowfish, “Let Her Cry”.

I know this artist but hadn't heard this song. I really loved it. His voice is pure caramel.

He's has alot of great country songs!! And a shout out to u to, have been just watching u for a week or so and I just love you guys. Julie from Greensboro NC.

Darius Rucker can sing anything...thanks for the good vibes BABY!

I've been singing for awhile. I wish I had 1/10th of what Darius Rucker has. He has a signature sound. That's magic.

Even after she even said Hootie , 20,000 people jumped in to say Hootie lol

A song along the same lines as this one and equally as impactful is "You're gonna miss this" by Trace Adkins.

Darius’ song “this is my world” is beautiful!!

Hootie, he looks just like Hootie!! 😜

Darius has always had that rare gem of a voice and he is the nicest guy

His music touched me when he was with Hootie and the Blowfish and since going country, he touches my very soul. PEACE!!!!!

You should react to Darius reacting to being invited to join THE Grand Ol Opry. People can say what they want, but being in the Opry is the REAL country music Hall of Fame.

I love this man's voice. He is truly talented and unique.

I use to see Darius w/ Hootie and the Blowfish down in the 5 points area of Columbia SC way back when they were just a local bar band. That would be in Late 80's into the early 90's. We were all so young then! Even after the band got signed and skyrocketed to stardom they never forgot where they started and would give a free concert every year back in Columbia in appreciation. Darius is one of those singers that could sing the phonebook and it would sound good. Amazing powerful voice. Darius had a solo R&B album back in 2002 called Back to Then. All great songs on it. He's now conquered country music and is a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Hootie reunited in 2019 and released an album.

We country music lovers, love Darius Rucker!!

One trend I love about Country music is this evolution of the meaning of a phrase. Since Country music is a lot of story telling, there's a kind of trope almost that a lot of songs do, but I'm not complaining, I love it, but it's where the chorus repeats the same phrase, in this case "It Won't Be Like This For Long" but everytime it's said it means something slightly different until the last time it means basically the exact opposite of what it meant when it was first said. Another example of this that I really love is "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney.

Darius Rucker has one of the sexiest voices. Loved him in Hootie and the blowfish. All his solo albums are amazing. Should listen to She, Story to tell, Southern state of mind.

My favorite country singer. He's from Hootie and the Blowfish. I love his voice. ❤️

My daughter's first day of school I followed my daughter's bus to school!🤣 she now is 25 and living on the west coast. I live on the east coast we talk everyday I miss he so much

Darius said he's always been country but it was tough to be country a bit ago. And he's a dad. A father, like men should be.

He looks familiar because he's from Hootie and the Blowfish he's only showing what an incredibly talented artist he is his country songs are absolutely fantastic

This song is Awesome! This is his family (wife at the time and kids) in the video. Sadly, they divorced. His kids are gorgeous! Darius can sing anything and it sounds magical! Such a huge talent to go from pop to country and back again. He moves back and forth, which is amazing!! Love him! Darius Rucker is a HUGE Rabbit Hole totally worth going down!!!

I'm literally watching this while holding my two year young baby girl, and I just don't want to ever let her go, cause I know it won't be like this for long.... there should be a happy crying emoji for times like this.

Y’all freakin reacted too it! Thank you so much.

Rodney Atkins cleaning this gun is a must

This song always gives me goosebumps. So good.

Yes!!! LOL HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH!!!

Darius Rucker was the front man/lead singer for the band Hootie and the Blowfish during the 80s/90s

If i told you by darius. Love that song

I've love Darius since Hootie and the blowfish! He is so great! You should check out his song let her cry! He is amazing! Thank you guys for checking out this song!

Yes you all preach that God bless everybody out there that's strong enough to stand up and be a parent and a role model this song is captivating

Darius actually did a segment on Undercover Boss... Check it out sometime:)

You should listen to Darius Rucker who use to be in a rock Band called Hootie and the Blowfish-Only wanna be with you!!! It’s 🔥!!!

You don't know who Darius Rucker is??? Omg so amazing the song will make you cry and he is yummy!! 😜😘🤗

The two of you are good for my soul after the last 2 weeks thank you

He is one of my favorite country singers

Jai you have the most beautiful, contagious smile!!

Such a Legend, and he’s from SC... Seen him a lot before before he was famous in Columbia, SC singing at bars and other little events. Congratulations on the 100k subs and I hope your leg gets better Jai..

I have loved him since he was in Hootie and the blowfish. And I have always liked country music so I was ecstatic when he came over. And I live in South Carolina now too and he’s a South Carolina native. By the way that’s his daughter in the video.

Lead singer of Hootie and the blowfish - Let Her Cry .... BADASS SONG ! WOOT !

I just love you guys. Absolutely the sweetest. Keep working!!

I never heard this song before..got me all choked up lol. Anyone with kids probably be crying♥️

Shout out to all the single dads like my son.

Darius = Hootie

Yes! Hootie and the Blowfish. You two are so fun to watch. Love your videos. Keep them coming. Hello to everyone, from Michigan!

my daughter cried and hung on to the my leg for the first week of headstart. He preschool teacher would tell me, it's okay, just go, she's fine as soon as you leave. I would tell her that this was her time to have fun and be with her friends and I would always be right back her to pick her up. But man, seeing her cry her little eyes out broke my heart and I would cry the whole way home.

He films many of his songs in the Charleston area, including the beaches. He’s a very cool guy!!!

Now y'all gotta react to the 90's Hootie and the BlowFish. Darius was the lead singer for the band.

My favourite by him is Beers and Sunshine. God I just love that one.

You're welcome love you all like family

YO FAMILY! Do a happy inspirational song by him! Do “This” by Darius Rucker!!!!! EVERYONE LIKE THIS SO THEY SEE IT

He is iconic Black Country singer

I feel at home watching your videos. Thanks you two

He also a nominated member of the Grand Old Opry. Great artist.

Darius Rucker and Adele - Need You Now is awesome

Excuse me while I go cry. My daughter will be 2 next week. It hit me in the feels. 😭😭😭😭. As a single mom it’s definitely a challenge. But worth every moment!

Darius said that a lot of the Hootie songs are actually country songs! That’s why it was so easy for him to transition to country!
