This has been out for over a year and Darius Rucker recently won the CMA New Country Artist award. I just read a review on this album and it's already sold over a million copies. Alison Krauss and Vince Gill are the backup vocalists. Somehow I haven't heard it yet. Is it as good as it's cracked up to be?

    He still sounds like Hootie. At least the guy didn't try to hard to sound like a cowboy. Most modern country sucks IMHO especially the females.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I think he sounds a little different than he used to. I read an article that talked about how back in the Hootie days, he kept bringing country songs that he wanted to do. The rest of the band didn't really have that bent to them, so maybe he is where he belongs.
