    by Jim Lundstrom

    Knowing I’ve got a Darius Rucker interview coming up for a preview of Country USA, I saunter down to a local bar with a 21st century jukebox that’s usually playing country music to find out what the aficionados think of the newest voice on the country scene.

    DID YOU KNOW THAT...

    • An estimated 4,100 children die daily from diarrheal diseases, which are spread through poor sanitation and hygiene: the leading cause of death for child mortality.

    • UNICEF estimates that half the world's schools lack access to safe drinking water.

    • Half the world's malnutrition can be attributed to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene. Estimates reveal that 88 percent of disease globally is attributable to an unsafe water supply and a lack of sanitation and hygiene.

    • 40 billion working hours are spent collecting water each year in Africa (by women and girls) - comparable to a year's labor for the entire workforce of France.

  • Darius Remembers His First Time On The Boot

    May 18, 2010 0 Comments

    Posted May 18th 2010 10:25AM by Pat Gallagher at www.theboot.com.

    Darius Rucker has had a successful career in two genres of music: rock and country. The lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish, Darius and the guys have recorded seven studio albums charting 16 singles on various Billboard charts. Their 1994 debut album 'Cracked Rear View' is one of the best-selling albums of all time.

    The versatile singer's country stint began in 2008 when the future country sensation signed with Capitol Records Nashville. His first country hit was the No. 1 with 'Don't Think I Don't Think About It.' Darius spoke to The Boot about hearing his first single on the radio back in 1994 (with Hootie) ... and more recently hearing his first country single (as a single artist) on the radio in 2008.
