Let Her Cry is one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@user-ox7ce6wm5d]

Love it when Darius and the Black Crows sing together so soulful! They sound great together!❤❤❤ Darius is a beautiful soul!

[@chrisdeering1120]

Darius is butter warmed with a piece of toast on a Saturday morning with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and a coffee. So good.

[@67jdvann]

This is the most 90's thing ever. Our gen's music was sooooo great!!!

[@hamishfletcher8001]

Sooooooo good 😊

[@jasmineraine1516]

yesss the best

[@kathyscoppettuolo7168]

Seeing the look on Darius' face when Chris sings the opening 😍

[@tonyascarlett2413]

I know. It was precious.

[@joereedsmith1531]

Yes he was disgusted couldnt even sing the first line in tune.

[@CebuShortRides]

amazing

Chris Robinson AND Darius Rucker 💚 What's NOT to LOVE ☮️🌎🎼🎶🤩

[@thesasserfamilytravels8006]

We got this song when we were fourteen, but you really dont feel it like you should until you're 40.

[@jimmymosierjr.7530]

Or 49… I was 20 when this came out. Life has made us understand.

[@Jrongjeeptrailer]

🎉🎉🎉

[@gabagool8191]

Amen to that

SOOOOO SIMPLY PUT... WELL SAID. HIT ME IN THE GUT AND LOVE THE TIMING OF MY SEEING YOUR COMMENT. NEEDED IT. SIMPLY PUT YET HUGELY PROFOUND. #madrespect ✌🏽

Chris Robinson. Aging like a fine wine in every way.

[@crazyviking2582]

Could listen to Darius all day. Iconic voice.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Me too.

[@suzannebacon8177]

Agree 💯

[@davejackson6444]

The harmonies of Darius and Chris is great!

[@invista4134]

Just cried listening to this. The depth when Chris sins in the opening and during the song, gives the highs and lows of this one. Takes it to a whole new meaning. I had to pause and re watch it like 15 times for my eyes were filled with tears streaming all the time. What a song..! Darius, you my friend are a genius to have written this gem.

[@briansmith8405]

Hootie is one of the best bands of our time. Cracked Rear View didn’t have a bad song on it.

[@edptoblo]

He Finally got in the same key as Darius at the end of the song. Geezz

@@Brian-zg9ff eh? To harmonize should be to compliment. This is detriment.

[@cmmnsenserules4339]

Funny, Darius Rucker wrote this song after hearing She Talks To Angels for the first time.

[@jamestg82]

And that's what makes this so iconic, the little things some people don't understand

[@brycemacleod7808]

He wrote this song for Bonnie Raitt. She said no, so her recorded it for himself. There is a video of him telling the story

[@paulmayden7344]

This is the best "This chick is crazy, I'm out" songs ever written. This song is about a guy that loves a girl that's effing up his and her life and he just has to split for his own good. Even though he doesn't want to.

[@Stein_Maddy]

Chris R absolutely breathed new life into this song. Fantastic

[@harrytrent13]

Still a great singer

[@edptoblo]

Except he couldn't sing in the right key with D.R. he was horrible till the last verse when he realized he was way off.

[@michaellitton4380]

@@edptobloyou obviously have no clue what pitch is. Darius is great but he’s not got near the soul of Chris. But when they sing together, That’s Harmony. Chris is singing HARMONY.

[@UnderARock]

@@edptobloI like them both individually, but the harmonization killed me. It really didn’t sound good at all … in my opinion.

[@nolanwolffis9144]

This is so cool because the Black Crowes’ She Talks to Angels was the inspiration for this song. Awesome stuff

[@raymondcarver476]

They should've mashed the 2 songs together during this show. Would've sounded amazing!!!

[@Iansco1]

@@raymondcarver476 Crowes side was having a hard enough time there. This was not a great night for him.

[@timothybyrom5560]

I didn't get into Hootie back in the day. Didn't take him serious because of the name. Now I've grown to love his music, and appreciate his wisdom.The Black Crowes have always had my attention.

[@whyamiheredlb]

Funny how I remember the feelings I had when I heard both of these groups for the first time back then, and now to see them together singing one of my favorite songs, blessed!! As we have all aged, it is truly something special to be able to watch this, It’s like just hanging out with some old friends again. Thanks for the memories guys ❤️🌻🦋

[@TelcomSupplier]

Well said. i agree 1000%

[@Kildayyan]

My god, these songs take me BACK. They’re not all good visits, but they make me feel how lucky I am to be where I am now. I hope the same for all who read this.

[@helenekyle4255]

For sure 🔥

[@jessetaylor2042]

One of my favorite all times by Hootie

[@melt2947]

What a great combination of two amazing singers..and a stunning song

[@sjdhgydhfyrn1023]

Two of the greatest 90s roots rock vocalists.

[@peterm4486]

Love Chris Robinsons voice in this, would love a pure Black Crows version.

[@lisamoberly2301]

Darius...I love his voice. I have seen him in concert at least 6 times. Just so unique.

Nice. Never seen him in concert.

Their voices harmonize well. They should record this in studio

[@sjdhgydhfyrn1023]

Unwritten rule: All country/rock songs about crying must feature a pedal steel guitar.

The Black Crowes are just the best. This collab is awesome!

I would just like to say, this is not The Black Crowes (literally) this is Darius Rucker's backing band.

[@Freshenstein23]

@@beastwishesyaaaaaa thanks detective. It’s still Chris Robinson which trumps anything else

[@waynegatehouse3998]

First time that I have heard this version of the song, it has always been one of my favorites but this is brilliant 👏 well done. 👏.

[@stephendverner]

Darius Rucker what a truly unique and awesome voice.

[@jameswhite4102]

Only to top off that he has a superb character as well, like him I’m a golf fan and seen him open up his true self on those courses - it’s what possibly makes him my favourite solo artist of the 21st century…

[@frankwalker3996]

A great song reimagined; I would live to see this version released.

[@ohanaathletics8953]

Until I watched this and then Darius sing with them on CMT Awards, I never realized how much Let Her Cry and She Talks To Angels were long lost brothers. This is so dope.

[@patbyrd9038]

Good combination these two are for real thank god for foreal about time

[@theodorekeefer1093]

I was listening to the Black Crows way before Mr. Rucker ever thought of Country Music!!!

[@MelissaThompson432]

Pretty sweet. The collab adds a dimension, changes the flavor. I like.

The duo I never knew I needed

[@ladylisaromance8129]

Absolutely love The Black Crowes and Hootie. I remember buying Hootie and the Blowfish CDs. 💿 This is a collab I didn't know I needed. But it makes sense after reading how Darius wrote this after being inspired by She Talks to Angel's by TBC.

[@raymondcarver476]

They should've played both of the songs back to back during the show!!
