MINUS THE BLOWFISH Hootie is reborn from a catchy '90s pop rocker into an average country star with Learn to Live

Credits

Release Date: Sep 16, 2008; Lead Performance: Darius Rucker; Genre: Country

The Artist Still Mostly Known as Hootie joins the decreasingly elite fraternity of faded pop superstars attempting to recapture relevance via a Nashville makeover with this patchwork series of songs ranging from pretty great (first single ''Don't Think I Don't Think About It'') to pretty god-awful (obligatory Christianish ballad ''If I Had Wings,'' which tries and fails to rhyme the words killing and children). If you consider Darius Rucker's bajillion-selling voice something of an old friend, Learn to Live is worth a listen. Otherwise? Meh. B-
