Darius Rucker’s Biography
Having your first country album debut at #1 on the Billboard charts _ following a multi-week #1 debut country single _ is a huge achievement by anyone’s measure. So it comes as no surprise that Capitol Records Nashville artist, Darius Rucker is delighted by the critical and commercial success of his first country album, Learn To Live, and very proud of the #1 single, Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It . And his delight only increased as his second single, It Won’t Be Like This For Long, also landed atop all three country singles charts. However, what Darius Rucker mostly feels these days is grateful . . . Grateful that the millions of fans that knew Rucker as the voice of Hootie & The Blowfish, the Grammy-winning group whose album Cracked Rear View sold more than 16 million copies, happily followed the singer/songwriter in his natural evolution to country music. . . And finally, grateful that, as a seasoned performer who has already experienced the fickle highs and lows of fame, he’s grounded and secure enough these days to truly appreciate this new phase in his music career.
With the critically-acclaimed Learn To Live, the listener realizes that this project is steeped in the country traditions of meaningful lyrics and resonant melodies, yet is still an album that sounds completely modern. And, as the best country albums do, Learn To Live takes the listener on a voyage through life’s experiences. The album’s arc covers major life themes such as falling in love, birth and death. Fans of the Hootie & The Blowfish – many of whom had already made the natural migration from pop to country radio – realize that the band’s catchy songs were rooted in the same elements that make great country music. As a student of great songwriting, Rucker earned his advanced degree while working on Learn To Live. Fellow South Carolina native Rogers also served as the album’s producer, a job he secured immediately after meeting Rucker. The success of first single, the bittersweet Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It, shows that Rucker had country fans at hello. The single, co-written by Rucker with Clay Mills, soared to number one at radio even more quickly than anticipated. You know, I had been in that rock cocoon for a while . . . But now I get to come out and sing these songs, says Darius Rucker. I plan to be doing this for a long time. This isn’t a one album deal _ it’s a career thing.
