There is glimpses of the genuine people who care about their fans and the integrity of their music.pBecause we in the UK hardly get the opportunity to see this fantastic and original band the video is even more valuable. There are good images when playing favourites such as "hold my hand" "Time" and my personal favourite "Let Her Cry".pDarius Rucker is for me an extremely charismatic man who through this video demonstrates the development of an awesome talent and singing voice. The other members of the band also demonstrate their musical talents, each contributing to the fantastic sound, that is Hootie The Blowfish.pThis is a must have for any Hootie fan and thank you very much amazon, you help us Hootie fans through the quiet times.
It's a sad fact that if you live in the UK you're more likley to have heard of Hootie and the Blowfish by association than reputation or act.pThe usual introduction to the band is via limp comparisons with relaitive newcomers like Matchbox Twenty.pThis tape allows you see two things p(1) What Hootie's music is actually like - themselves (rather than thouse who sounds a bit like them) (2) How the guys were before the marketing machine polished them into their current "gentlemen of grunge" look. On this tape we see a group of guys having a good time - focussing on their music, with a wary eye to their fans and the inevitable growth in popularity to come.pThis tape also features performances of their breakthrough material.p'Hold My Hand', 'Let Her Cry', 'Only Wanna Be With You' and 'Time' are all featured. You might not recognise a couple of them though as they are the original versions before tweaks to make them slightly more commercial for the singles market.pAn excellent band with intelligent lyrics, sustained melody and convincing hooks.pIf you've heard lots about Hootie but not actually heard the Blowfish for yourself - this is a good place to start.pNeedless to say it's also a 'must-have' item for any serious collector. pGet it here while you can - you'll be hard pushed to find it stocked in stores in the UK. Well done, once again, Amazon.
