Performer: Hootie & the Blowfish
Distributor: Welk Notes: In the mid-1990s, Hootie & the Blowfish achieved near superstardom boasting a sound that was equal parts Southern-fried blues rock, jam band grooves, and MOR pop. A decade later, the foursome, led by the unmistakable voice of Darius Rucker, are captured on stage in their home state with LIVE IN CHARLESTON. The set is anchored by stirring versions of hits such as "Hold My Hand" and "Let Her Cry," and features a soulful cover of the Tom Waits classic "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You," The boys smartly close things out with a rousing rendition of their anthem "Only Wanna Be With You."
Hootie & the Blowfish burst out of the grass-roots southern rock scene in the mid-1990s, but their panoramic, All-American pop-rock sound was more influenced by John Mellencamp than by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band's distinguishing feature was the robust, booming voice of Darius Rucker (no, he wasn't "Hootie"), and their sunny, straightforward sound connected in a big way with audiences weary of grunge bleakness.
