Disco de Hootie & The Blowfish: “The Best Of Hootie & The Blowfish (1993-2003)”

Finally Hootie and the Blowfish have released their greatest hits disk. And the track list is solid up and down, all the big hits from cracked rear view are here, also the big hits from Fairweather Johnson are represented, also i was truley impressed the gorgeous track "Innocence" off their newest studio album was included, as most of you know record companies sometimes leave off the newest material on the greatest hits packages. It is a solid compilation of HATB hits and powerful songs from the very unfortunate unpopular follow albums. perfect for the novice Hootie fan. The only reason for a 4 star rating is that I would have liked to see "Can't Find The Time To Tell You" from the Me Myself and Irene soundtrack make it to the list. But it still can earn a worthy place in your cd Collection

We lived in Columbia SC during the 1990s and got an overdose of Hootie and the boys. There was a definite love hate relationship with the music-we loved the songs but hated hearing them every five minutes on the radio, and eventually stopped listening to Hootie all together. However, time has indeed been a friend to Hootie and to the listener...

Last night Hootie and the Blowfish performed at a charity concert in Greenville SC. They were fantastic! We all acted like the twenty year old kids we once were-dancing, singing every word at the top of our lungs, and loving every minute of the walk down memory lane. I had to go out and get this CD. It does not disappoint. It has all of the songs that saturated the SC airways many moons ago. Still upbeat. Still great for singing along. And as a bonus, it is a CD that even the curtain climbers can listen to.

This album is like taking a trip down memory lane. I was 10 years old when Cracked Rear View came out. They were one of the bands I really got into when I was at that age where I started to seriously get into music. With their albums apanning over practically all of my youth, I have a lot of memories associated with so many of these songs. Its great to have a lot of the really special ones all on one cd like this. I hope this album does well sell wise too. The guys deserve it. This really is a great collection of songs. For people who didn't stick with the music after Cracked Rear View or Fairweather Johnson, you will be very surprised by some of these songs and just how great they are. This is a band who continues to make great music and if you were once a fan, I highly reccomend checking out their new album, getting this one, and rediscovering a great band.

OK, I think that is a very good compilation of Blowfish's songs. I just miss one of my favourite songs from Cracked Rear View, that remembers my college times: Hannah Jane. I know this in not a gratest hit but sincerely I'm sure it's one of the best songs written by Darius Rucker and the boys.

Many people forgot about this band about 7 years ago. What they didn't realize is that they continued to make great music and are still doing it. I was one of those people until I decided to buy there self-titled album last year. I was pleasantly surprised and it was the best CD I bought last year. I have again become a huge fan of the band and this disc is great for anyone who ever enjoyed listening to their music. Buy this album, you'll love it. By the way, they are a blast to see in concert!
