Although Darius vows that Hootie & The Blowfish will record new music and perform together again in the future, it’s clear that Darius is happy to do the work to make it in country music. “There was never a full-page ad in Billboard magazine saying ‘The new Darius Rucker album is coming out. Darius has gone country, and here’s his first single.’ There wasn’t any of that. It was me in the car with a buddy driving around to 85 radio stations,” Rucker said.
