You have to do more Hootie and The Blowfish and Darius Rucker which is the lead singer of Hootie and The Blowfish please and thank you

[@mandamorris7934]

I fell in love with Mr. Darius Rucker the minute I first heard this song. It's been on every play list I've ever had... and ever shall be. Love the song... love his voice... So happy you chose this song.

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

Awe our local fella... Love Hootie. Not original lyrics in this. Literally dancing in my bed. I listen to his country now and I honestly forget about his OG stuff. The 90’s were so good.

[@pleutron]

Hootie is one of my favorite 90’s bands ever.

[@bsny0390]

Early 90’s Hootie was so big so fast that they had the inevitable backlash that comes with it. Cracked Rear View was a great album at the right time. Darius has an amazing voice. Scattered Smothered and Covered is still my favorite album from them

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

Great Reaction. Darius Rucker is an awesome singer. For other Hootie & the Blowfish songs you might want to listen to(Only want to be with you) or(hold my hand).❤️✌️🌼

[@jonbauman457]

Darius said awhile back that Let Her Cry was the first country song he ever wrote but happened to be in a rock band at the time.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

@@jonbauman457 That’s cool I never heard that❤️✌️🌼

[@dannyharris5310]

Man I love some Hootie.. great vocalist and band!

[@karendavis2668]

This is so my song. Sometimes I just need to cry and have someone there for me. 💖🦋

[@mikeconway9849]

You did a reaction to him as a solo artist 5 months ago so that's why he sounds familiar. Hootie and the Blowfish had a great run of popular songs but Darius Rucker left the band to pursue a career as a solo country singer. I agree that he has a fantastic voice.

[@SkylerDouglas]

Well he didn't leave per say they actually just flat out broke up.

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

My mom had a drug problem when I was a teenager. This was the song that sort of defined and helped me cope with my relationship with her at the time.

[@jasonbriggs1853]

I feel this. Me and my best friend fell into drugs growing up. I was able to get off of them a few years ago, she hasn't been so lucky. This song is exactly the things you go through. Wanting to leave, not being able to, trying to support them but trying to take care of yourself as you die inside.

[@Keeter24]

Can’t believe I’ve never heard him live! Thank you, this rendition is so beautiful

[@marywilliams7898]

The little smile was present! Love Darius Rucker whatever he sings! Beautiful voice! Was a great fan of the “ the blowfish” group!

[@mommabird2813]

1990’s were a completely different world, sure do miss it😞

[@luckylady7542]

I absolutely love his voice!! I'm glad he came over to the country side.😊❤

[@chadgilley1489]

One of my favorites of all time!

[@hibhibb5429]

Darius Rucker is an Incredible artist. He sings with Hootie and The Blowfish and He is also an Amazing Country Music Man. He is VERY successful in both genres. I love him in both. Darius just has such a unique sound and when he starts to sing you know it's him right away.

[@krxahfb]

Love that guitar!! Helps put the song at another level

[@glenwhitmore4657]

I agree. Darius is fantastic singer & a wonderful voice.

[@joeunis318]

Darius Rucker was my highschool days hootie was everywhere

[@tawnyjo1987]

Thank you for your content. I’m spending my Sunday afternoon in my swing that hangs from our willow tree, bingeing on your channel. Fantastic!

[@franwiththeredhair]

Darius definitely added more substances to the lyrics in this version. Originally he said I sat back down with a beer and felt sorry for myself. The Original track to this is on all my Playlists. It just seeps into my soul.

[@aftdude2180]

It wont be like this for long is my fav by Hootie. Great Choice

[@paigemimms4343]

Only Wanna Be With You is one of Hootie and the Blowfish’s biggest hits and it still holds up 30 years later. Love Darius!!

[@CharleyFriends]

The old man and me, not even the trees, time, lots of great songs!

[@GamingWithGeo]

You reacted to Darius Rucker before, 5 months ago when you reacted to Wagon Wheel. Though personally I preferred listening to him while he was still with Hootie and the Blowfish, before he turned country.

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

In fairness, there's quite a bitbof country sound in this song.

[@Karlos2121]

Yep. Hints of country on all the Hootie albums. Would love to see a reaction to “it won’t be like this for long”….I found that song not long after my daughter was born and it had me in tears.

[@NobodyUR]

He hasn’t really changed just backing music to his vocals changed. Rock changed for sure from Straight rap. Numeral- rock- rock with country vibe then straight country. More power to him as you age some preference change. I still like the 90-2004ish music but I find myself on the 60s channels 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

Never thought hootie and the blowfish sounded country. Always more of a traditional 90's yarling sound. It was great

[@markcall1982]

Actually Hootie was going to be a Country band but they took a vote and the majority went with rock.

[@hanklutcavich2468]

Any person with mental issues or addiction problem can relate to this song. Sometimes you just need your space to figure yourself out. More Hootie or Darius. Awesome reaction brother.

[@VicTucker]

I love this song! Brings back high school memories

[@flutesong5527]

As you journey through the age of Rock and Roll, the singular impression that you experience is that there is no end of talent in the world. So much talent!

[@lorrainewillis6364]

I love this song

[@johngrimes7494]

Hootie & The Blowfish - Time. That one always gets me.

[@dustinsamson4879]

He now is a country singer, you reacted to him sometime ago singing wagon wheel, a country song.

[@jonbauman457]

Awhile back, Darius said that Let Her Cry was the first country song he ever wrote but happened to be in a rock band at the time.

[@amanduhcase]

Never knew. Thanks!

[@JoeyBlueTx]

Darius Rucker does indeed have an amazing voice. He rocks it with Hootie & The Blowfish and as a standalone country artist.

[@Cooljack906]

I love Darius no matter what he's singing!! ❤️

[@cjohnson2616]

definitely excited for you to get into more Hootie!

[@RitaMae13]

Wonderful choice!!!

[@Jesusiscominglive777]

Yes hey has the most awesome and very unique voice, glad he went country, Wagon Wheel is my very favorite songs👏💯😍🎤♥️🤍💙

[@cindyphifer970]

Love this band and love Darius solo

[@Vortigan07]

I first heard Hootie back in '95 when my brother handed me a recording of a late night radio show whose primary feature was to give air to new bands/music. This track was on that tape and I was in love with them before it had finished! I went out and bought Cracked Rear View almost immediately and loved it from back to front on the 1st listen...and I've loved every album the same since then! They never seemed to get off the ground here in The UK and I'd long since thought I'd missed the chance to see them live but them then, like a miracle, they came back with a new record and the "Group Therapy" tour in 2019 and I finally got to see them in Manchester!! What a wonderful, wonderful night!! I don't think the smile left my face for hours and I sang almost every word!! The one regret is that I walked right past Mark Bryan and Dean Felber on my way back to my car, they were just chilling and chatting with a bunch of people by the tour bus...should have stopped to at least shale their hands, ah well! I've very proudly got the tour poster and my ticket framed and hanging on my wall. I just love them! And my man here, MrLboyd Reacts, dude if you're not using your voice to make a living, why not?! That's a voiceover/radio voice if I've ever heard one! Great video man, thanks for sharing! I'll be checking out the rest of your work now, for sure. Best regards from The UK!

[@DyeScreaming]

I still have this cd from high-school even though I'm almost exclusively metal.

[@Rothhammer_Customs]

We had some great musicians in the early 90s as well as some not so great. These are a road trip for me back to a different time. Keep up the great work.

[@art3mis290]

Never saw this song done live, thank you for reacting to live version. And as usual the live version is better. Far more emotion felt live, awesome.

[@kokoangenie4366]

Awesome. I've loved Hootie and the Blowfish since I first saw them and heard Darius's voice on David Letterman many years ago.

[@Theoldsoggydog]

Used to watch them at this tiny little bar in Charleston called Café 99 and at the Wind Jammer. This was in the early 90's. Last time was several years ago, again in Charleston. Always get the goose bumps when I hear this song.

[@afewminuteswithchrispycubi8945]

Home town band. My wife went to school with darius. Ive seen hootie at least a hundred times

[@neoncatfish4038]

The first time I heard Hoodie and blowfish was on a super bowl on TV! He was one of the acts outside of the super bowl before it started! They did not even say his name or filmed the whole song! I cannot tell you who was playing in the game! But I remembered Hoodie and the blowfish!

[@brookehornback1896]

I believe every word.🥰

[@baconmadebod9959]

I got to see this live back in 1998 in Bahrain. I was waiting to fly to my ship for the first time, but Hootie & the Blowfish took that flight and I had to wait another week.

[@adammagie4466]

I highly recommend that you hear the studio one, even though this was an amazing live performance.

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

Hoodie and the Blowfish were special and yes Darius Rucker has an amazing voice!❤

[@saraturner8657]

Darius sang this at a country awards show, and says this was his 1st country song, while with Hootie and the Blowfish. Country folk LOVE Darius. His songs can be sang in several genres.

[@Jeanie_RN]

The best Hootie song that shows his voice to me is his live performance of Goodbye...not to be confused with goodbye girl.

[@tammyjoma]

Man, the guy's singing is so codependent, but I have always absolutely loved this song. It really stirs up powerful feelings from the late '70's, early '80's. Darius Rucker's voice is unbelievable. Love the original the best, but this is a great version.

[@TheSheilachantilly]

This whole album is great

[@jennevieveberlin]

This live performance sounds damn near exactly like the record!

[@Duncsanity]

Hands down the best concert I have seen. Fiddlers Green Amphitheater in Colorado! So hyped you reacted to this!

[@ptalbert5083]

You hear one of there songs on discover card ad on TV all the time

[@TropicalHat420]

HOOTIE!!

[@irishgrl]

I love this song. During this time frame, I loved listening to Gin Blossoms, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Counting Crows & Hootie

[@jenniferewing4504]

Darias Rucker became solo artist beautiful voice !

[@EvilE132]

Hootie and the blowfish are one of the best things to ever come out of South Carolina

[@EvilE132]

Also check out their somg Time

[@Dee-JayW]

May I request “Hold My Hand”? Please? It is beautiful and my fave! ❤❤❤great reaction.

[@edithdavis2848]

Darius Rucker was Hootie before he left the group and went to country. Great voice which ever he sings. They played the Mo. Stat Fair I got their record.

[@sherydenslament]

For more by Hootie and the Blowfish, try Only Wanna Be With You or Hold My Hand. The lead singer, Darius Rucker, embarked on a solo career in country music a few years ago. Try Don't Think I Don't Think About it or It Won't be Like This for Long for something solo by him. I believe you've already done a reaction video for Wagon Wheel by him..

[@jamescosner3376]

He has some very good country songs

[@thelovemachine09]

Another good solo song by Darius that people are missing: If I told you.

[@markcall1982]

Darius wrote this song from his point of view of his girl having issues. But he was writing about himself. Such a great band. Being a South Carolinian we love us some Hootie and Darius. Caught his first Country music tour at the fair here. One of the best shows I have been to.

[@southernbella6535]

Hootie (Darius Rucker) has a voice you wont forget , loved him with his band, love him as a solo artist. I cant think of one bad song hes ever done . Happy 4th :)

[@yubbed]

Darius Rucker voice is simply amazing!

[@VsHangout]

Love your work and your voice is so soothing. Keep up the good work.

[@aradek214]

He does country music now. Still awesome!

[@ProjectMarshfield]

Thanks for the reactions man, they’re awesome and you need to do more reactions! One reaction which I am still so surprised you haven’t done is Snuff by Slipknot. One of the greatest songs ever! So when you get a chance can you please please react to it!? Much love

[@nicolefagala3270]

Yep, awesome Listen to hold my hand and don't think I dont think about it by just Darius. We grew together 😊

[@stevewalsh4850]

Took the world, at least my world, and many others, by storm in the 90’s 😎

[@tammypearson989]

“Wagon wheel”, is his biggest country song, but he has a bunch more w/Hootie and when he went country! He is an awesome singer. He formed Hootie and the blowfish in college at SC State University. I’m pretty sure (check stats).

[@andrewmatthews1083]

University of South Carolina, not State.

[@skyt3265]

only wanna be with you- hootie and the blowfish

[@mdm32746]

I am in my 50's and have loved music all my life..... Darius Rucker is one of the best vocalists I have ever heard.

[@kristinabushnell3652]

Another good one by Hootie &The Blowfish is Hold My Hand and another good one by the lead singer Darius Rucker is Don't Think I Don't Think About It or It Won't Be Like This For Long. All are awesome songs. Great reaction!! 🙂

[@daniellechambers4921]

He's also a country music artist

[@Jeffbambam]

Darius has the coolest voice!

[@jerrywilliamson4045]

He says this is the first country song he ever wrote. Lots of ad libs in this live version. Great singer.

[@deadheadfor2oh948]

Please check out "Goodbye" by Hootie. One of their less known songs, but amazing.

[@tiawarren5403]

Darius sings the country song "wagon wheel" great vocalist...

[@valeriecunningham1574]

Darius Rucker is an awesome singer and his live shows are great. I have seen him in concert 3 times. Once when he was Hootie and the Blowfish, once when he started singing in the country genre and once when he came out to sing a couple of songs with Edwin McCain. Edwin McCain is great as well. Darius helped Edwin get his music career started. Anyway, anything you chose from Darius Rucker is worth the time to listen to. Take care.

[@shelbytanner6394]

Recommendation- always listen to studio version before live 😂❤

[@jeffreyglenellen1188]

You picked the best version of this track thanks mayne

[@joeunis318]

Try Blues Traveler they are like these guys. They toured together in the 90s

[@vick247xe]

Great reaction, but can we talk about that shirt! 😀

[@speaknsee]

This song was amazing. It brings me back to a time when I was driving in the rain to work, just after a break up. Darius's voice and lyric hits the heart strings with this one. I like to call him Hootie.

[@ianferguson4048]

I love how Darius said this was the first country song he ever wrote

[@kimmarquis2354]

Don’t care if it is with Hootie and The Blowfish or solo. Darius Rucker is an incredible singer/entertainer. Got a huge thing for his voice.

[@brandonreese6394]

Should definitely check out "Time" and "Not Even The Trees" by Hootie & the Blowfish. Won't disappoint

[@jsnunya]

More from Hootie? If you can find it, their cover of 'Goodbye Girl' is outstanding.

[@2a2day]

Those are all Adlibs about the drinks and drugs. React to the original, his voice is crazy!

[@kimking6036]

Darius has a song, If I told you. I love it. Also Don't think I don't think about it. Really he has so many great songs. Oh yes! Radio. Another great ☮️

[@DolphinsFanInVA]

Darius Rucker is such a great artist! Im pretty sure you reacted to Wagon Wheel by him a while back, that's from his solo career as one of the top performers in country music.

[@mongo5888]

I was with a girl for eight years. She was my everything, my entire world. We were inseparable for many years, but I had health issues that were continually getting worse which caused a lot of strain on our relationship, and there was a lot going on around us as well. Eventually she started drinking a lot and became an alcoholic like her father had, and her new group of friends where she worked did not help whatsoever because they encouraged her terrible decisions. Then I caught her cheating with someone that I called a friend for a long time, but like a fool I didn't give up on her and I gave her another chance. By the end of it I was putting in all that I had to try to fix things and get back to that love that we had once before, but she finally left me 2 days before Christmas in 2020. It's been a couple years now and it hurts everyday. My health has continued to get worse but I keep trying. I don't know what the future holds, but I'll keep going as long as I can. I told you that story to tell you this. When she left, this song was on repeat for weeks and it really helped me get through it. Even now when I listen to this song I can't describe with words the amount of emotion that courses through every part of who I am with each note. Keep up the great work, I love the channel. Much love, brother. 🤘

[@jameshill2450]

If you existed in the 90s at all, then you heard their much bigger hit Hold My Hand. And you've also heard his more recent solo stuff (Darius Rucker).

[@AdamWulfric]

Key and Peele hootie reaction

[@tammypearson989]

Even though I love (Hootie) Darius is a huge country singer now.
