Come January, you’ll only wanna be with a new box set that collects Hootie & the Blowfish‘s first five albums for Atlantic Records, including their mega-selling 1994 release, Cracked Rear View.
The Atlantic Years 1994-2003, due Jan. 24, will be released on vinyl and CD, though the six-LP version will only be available via Rhino.com. The five-CD set will be available at the website, as well as in stores nationwide.
In addition to Cracked Rear View, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the set includes 1996’s Fairweather Johnson, 1998’s Musical Chairs, the 2000 covers album Scattered, Smothered and Covered and the 2003 self-titled release Hootie & the Blowfish. The latter two have never been available on vinyl before.
Hootie lead singer Darius Rucker has gone on to become a solo country superstar, but the band continues to tour and, occasionally, record. After the 2003 self-titled release, they put out two additional albums: 2005’s Looking for Lucky and 2019’s Imperfect Circle.
