Product Description
Hootie & the Blowfish, The Best of Hootie & the Blowfish. Fronted by Darius Rucker, these rootsy, blues-flavored modern rockers shot to fame in 1995 with the chart-topping debut album Cracked Rear View. One of the disc's smash singles, "Let Her Cry," won that year's GRAMMY® in the Best Pop Duo/Group category, and the band also won for Best New Artist. Still recording and touring, they have since sold over 25 million records, and delivered hits including "Hold My Hand," "Time," "Only Wanna Be With You," also featured on in the set list on this essential collection, which spans 1994-2003

5.0 out of 5 stars Eureka! an edit-free Greatest Hits!, December 20, 2005

By	Daniel W. Kelly (Long Island, NY United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Best of Hootie & the Blowfish (1993 Thru 2003) (Audio CD)

None of the hits have been edited from their full length album versions on this compilation, and all the top 40 hits from their two big albums are accounted for. The only song that is not the same length as on the original CD is "Tucker's Town." On the album version, after the song ends, there is a pause of silence, and then this 30 second accapella part comes on. It's not particularly of any use to make the song better, and it's omitted on this disc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Long Time Coming, April 23, 2004

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

4.0 out of 5 stars 2 good songs missing, some duds here, January 17, 2007

Where is Hannah Jane and Drowning? Some of the later stuff pales in comparison to the quality of songs on their first two albums. Buy Cracked Rear View and Fairweather Johnson and you will have ALL of their good stuff! Hey, if 1996 ever rolls around again, these guys may become cool again.
