Darius Rucker Rocks The Opry

Fans got a special treat when Rucker sang a Hootie & The Blowfish hit.

“I’m going to play the first country song I ever wrote,” announced Rucker to the crowd directly before belting the opening line of “Let Her Cry.”

Darius has a special place in his heart for the Opry having grown up listening to Grand Ole Opry radio broadcasts. “I’m used to getting up and performing my three songs [as in typical Opry performances], so to get up here and play a whole show is really incredible.” Rucker adds, “I mean, WOW, what a special experience.”

A portion of the performance will air tonight on ABC’s late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
