4.0 out of 5 stars A true blend of styles, 23 Nov 2002
By Wicker-king (North London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fairweather Johnson (Audio CD)
If you are already initiated into the world of Hootie then the first thing that strikes you is that this album is less pop orientated than CRV and for those who haven't got other Hootie albums then this will come as a breath of fresh air.
I can't help but have the feeling that this album was very much influenced by the stylings of Counting Crows and a desire to expand and not just rest on their laurels and a number of the songs work really well but overall it lacks some of the poignancy that Adam Duritz lends to his songs.
The standout for me is the sublime 'So Strange' which reunites Darius and Nanci Griffiths, after some great work for MTV and 'The Dust Bowl Symphony', in a song that is just a great feat in vocal harmonising and the simple pop lyrics that landed Hootie in the spotlight.
One of the main criticisms I've heard about this album is that it is a little bit monotone and lacking in pep and although 'Old Man And Me' is one of the most up tempo songs they have ever done you can't help but feel that another couple like it would have helped push 'Fairweather Johnson' over the hill, not to say that whats here isn't good but it is a tad monotone and lacking a little pep.
This is a good album but not a great one. Fans of mopers like Travis and Coldplay would probably lap this up, although come to think of it Darius Rucker can actually sing so I don't know.
There are some top tunes here and its well worth listening to especially if your a fan of 'August and Everything After' (and if you're not then see a priest and beat yourself with reeds) and not a particularly great fan of 'Cracked Rear View'. Darius can sing, Mark is a good axe man and the rhytm section are good too. Good harmless pop-rock fun with a slight edge. Well worth considering.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Album from the Great Hootie & the BLowfish, 12 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Fairweather Johnson (Audio CD)
I first heard about hootie and the blowfish when my dad brought thier first album (cracked rear view) from the US, I was instantly hooked, They are a great band and this second album continues to show that fact. Although, perhaps, not as good as the first, it is still worthy of a purchase and any fan of hootie and the blowfish will enjoy it. When my dad returned from the US for the third time he brought home Hootie's latest album -musical chairs but thats another story....

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Class, 7 May 2007
By P. Stockton (Birmingham, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fairweather Johnson (Audio CD)
From the first song to the last in my opinion all songs could be hit singles. From rock start off "be the one" to romantic melody "tootie" even an appearence from nanci griffith keeps this album on a high. I dont know what else to say. A true hootie and the blowfish great.
