Episode 28: Hootie & the Blowfish, "Cracked Rear View"

Hootie & the Blowfish came on to the scene just as grunge's
mainstream moment was ending. And the timing couldn't have been
better. After years of angst saturating the airwaves, four nice
guys from South Carolina brought the uplifting sound we didn't
know we needed. In this episode: Why Darius Rucker isn't actually
"Hootie" (and who is), why nostalgia is becoming increasingly
sellable, and the gears that turned at the exact right moment to
make "Cracked Rear View" one of the best-selling albums of all
time.
