If you were a teenager in the 90's and if there was an Ipod then, I'm sure the songs of Hootie and the Blowfish would be in your playlist. They had so many hits during the height of their popularity and my most favorite then was Let Me Cry.
Anyway, more than a decade later, Darius Rucker, the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish decided to do country music - which shocked everyone, including me - and I'm sure many people behind his back were laughing at the incredulity of it all! Well, it's Darius Rucker who's laughing now!
He just won the Grammy for Best Country Vocal Solo Performance this year! Imagine that! Pinagtatawanan ka nuon, ngayon, you finally get the respect of the whole music establishment! Way to go Darius!! Which just goes to show, you don't have to fit the stereotype in anything that you love to do. Darius, who is obviously African-American doing something very white - country music - is just an anomaly at first glance! And he used to sing mushy pop-rock songs! Darius just followed his heart and soon, the country music fans just came around and liked what he did.........
