I’m from Charleston, South Carolina, where the members of Hootie & The Blowfish call home. They throw annual charity concerts that are huge deals. My sister trick-or-treated at Rucker’s house when we were kids. The street leading into the local arena is named after Rucker. I met Mark Bryan, the lead guitarist for the band, at a concert once. Heck, at one point in the video (around 5:20) Todd uses a picture of Rucker that shows him wearing a shirt for a local venue (the Music Farm) that I went to this past Saturday for a show. And despite this, even I have not heard a single song from “Fairweather Johnson”. Can’t wait to figure out why.

Every time I hear Hootie, I’m reminded of a story my mom told me LOL. She flew in from out of country and ended up in New York, lost. She happened to overhear a group of people talking about getting to their flight 👉🏻 to our homeland of Ohio. Which she was also going to be on. So she asked them if she could tag along because they looked like they knew what they were doing, and they said SURE. So she ran through the airport in New York with them and ended up flying back to Cleveland with them too. It ended up being Hootie and the Blowfish, and they gifted my mom lots of signed merch and cds - which she had no idea who they were 😂! Which they thought was hilarious! So she they were super nice and really wonderful to her, and she spent the flight home hanging out with them. She still tells us that story years later 😅! I still have my signed cd all these years later too! So random! Not that I listen to it, I’m just glad they were cool to my mom! They get my approval just for that!

@joshthefunkdoc4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for this, Todd - Hootie's mainstream success has been weirdly fascinating to me, and i've done a fair amount of my own research into the topic. A few relevant points to add on to the (well done!) video: 1. The guy who signed Hootie to Atlantic Records was inspired by one particular week's Billboard album chart. Specifically, he noticed that right alongside a bunch of grunge records in the top 10 was Bob Seger's Greatest Hits. That told him there was a large chunk of the music-buying public being ignored by grunge, so (though he doesn't exactly put it this way) he thought there would be money in a new band that played dad rock. Hootie had sent their demo to Atlantic, he listened to it, and they became his baby. He actually had to fight a lot of higher-ups at the label to get them a chance, and even then there wasn't a single music video included in their marketing budget. 2. Cracked Rear View's breakout started with a very clever regional sales strategy on the part of the label. They didn't stock the album much if at all in New York or LA, which is typically a huge no-no in the music business. Their plan? "STOCK NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA LIKE IT'S PEARL JAM!", the idea being that Hootie was already known around the bar scene in those states. This gamble netted over 10,000 copies sold the first week in those two states alone, landing them the #1 spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. That's what made the label shift gears and arrange music videos for them. 3. The point that seems to get brought up the least, but one that must be mentioned: Wal-Mart. This was the time when the specialty music chains like Coconuts & Sam Goody had begun to show weakness, and Wal-Mart amped up their music-retail focus in an attempt to take their place. Given Wally World's clientele and refusal to carry albums containing the Parental Advisory sticker, Cracked Rear View was an absolutely *perfect* fit for them. They promoted the heck out of that album once it had started to take off, and you know the rest. Creed seems to be the most well-known case of "Wal-Mart Made My Career", but you could argue Hootie was the first. Again, i don't mean this as a criticism of the video - just a little bonus for the folks who actually read the comments!

I remember Todd did a review of "Groove Is In The Heart" and noted that it being released in 1990 was probably the reason the band never caught on, because the song and album would have worked way better in the late 1990s when anything that sound happy or upbeat got big. 1994 was the year Cobain died and that was pretty much the end of grunge. Most of the radio-friendly stuff was already transitioning to alt-rock, so that year in particular there was a desire for more middle-of-the-road stuff. Thus came Hootie.

But they knew what sold and stuck with it. And indeed, both suffered from "wait, isn't this album the same as the last one?" More recently, "Imagine Dragons" feels like this. A really well-constructed radio band with a lot of hits, but I could never tell you a thing about them once you turn the radio off. Engineered to make great pop hits, but there is not a thing interesting or memorable about them. Some others mentioned Maroon 5, and I'd agree. Both are kind of cut from the same cloth.

2:00 Todd is NOT kidding about how big Hootiemania was. I started listening to modern pop music around early 1995, and Hootie was EVERYWHERE. Cracked Rear View was one of the first half-dozen CDs I ever owned, so I was that 1 in 27 Americans that bought it. I bought both the "Old Man and Me" single CD AND Fairweather Johnson. I don't know why that second album didn't take off. I think it was just more of the same 2 years after they launched. But my theory is that the explosion of home computing -- and more importantly, the Internet -- caused us to finally be able to explore a wider pool of music in a VERY short amount of time. What's more, we could share opinions about it on chat rooms and message boards. We may not have had KZfaq or even Napster, but the ingredients of file sharing were there. Websites soon popped up that shipped music worldwide, even before Amazon came to devour them all. That's half the reason you can have 2Pac, Elton John, OMC, Oasis and Jamiroquai on the same chart (to say nothing of bands like The Butthole Surfers, Nada Surf and Squirrel Nut Zippers). Hootie was the quintessential American band, but Americans in some sense wanted something international and/or unconventional. Not to mention, other bands or artists like Duncan Shiek or The Wallflowers clamoring to become the next Hootie.
@sunsfan1019817 ай бұрын
I think they released this album too soon. The song Time was in the top 20 a few months before this was released. Rearview hadn't run it's course yet. If memory serves, Rearview actually finished in the top 10 best sellers of the year in 96, which is insane to think about. They really should've put this out in 97 or so and i think that's why there was such a backlash against them. They were too big and overexposed. There wasn't a break to allow people to have a time out from them. Another factor here is the lack of singles. It wasn't was poppy, or accessible as Rearview was. Great first single, but it didn't have the potential third or fourth hit single, let alone a second one even.
@drygnfyreАй бұрын
1995 was such an interesting year in pop culture. Not only was Hootiemania a thing, but so was Windowsmania. Windows 95 might rival Hootie for the amount of sales and hype that was generated that year. So you had major shifts not just in music but in how information was spread and dissected. The Internet was becoming a household commodity around this time. I have no idea if any of this benefitted Hootie, but I think it's just such an interesting point in time. There was such huge shifts in how the world was working by then. I feel like the 90s more than any other decade had such a sharp contrast in the earlier and latter halves. The decade started with pop rap and grunge, then it ended with bands like Hootie and then Swedish Europop and Latin funk revivals. I think Hootie lost popularity just because of how fast everything was moving in the 90s, especially once the Internet became commonplace.

My brother was super into dance and house and my mom pretty much only listened to Wings and Elton John at that time, so they really did cross those genre lines, by a long shot. Suddenly, by album two, it was all, “Hootie, who?” As a young child at the time, I couldn’t tell the difference between the two albums. As an adult, I still really can’t. I just happen to know more songs from the first one.

This reminds me of Asia's career track. They went from the biggest, best-selling album of 1982 to almost insignificant in a year. Granted, Alpha sold well, but it's not well-remembered, it went platinum but it didn't sell 10 million or dominate the album and song charts. And there wasn't any new sonic direction there, either; Alpha was pretty much the same prog-flavored arena rock that made the debut such a smash. Yes, that stuff did go out of style, but not in 1983, when pretty much all the old prog bands were folding into the Big 80s with records like 90125, Genesis' self-titled album, Broadsword and the Beast, Signals...so why didn't Asia share in that success? Probably because 1, it was a crowded freaking market, as you can see up there. Then you add people like Journey to the mix, who were making very similar records, and Asia would totally get lost in the shuffle, to say nothing of all the crazy synthpop and new wave acts that ruled the scene in 1983. 2, the album wasn't nearly as good. Despite their chops, Asia were never as elaborate as King Crimson, ELP, or Yes--where all the members came from--but they had a good bit of punch to their sound, and on Alpha, that just isn't there. It starts to sound more like The Buggles without the quirkiness. And 3, the band was in near-meltdown mode. For disputed reasons, John Wetton left a few months after Alpha's release, forcing the tour's cancellation and resulting in Greg Lake filling in for him at the Asia in Asia concert in Tokyo, which Lake only did as a favor because he didn't like Asia's musical direction. Wetton eventually returned, but only on the condition that Steve Howe was fired. The guitar legend was replaced by a decent, but rather unknown Mandy Meyer for 1985's Astra, which did even worse than Alpha and resulted in the band's break-up. It's very similar to what happened here with Hootie and the Blowfish, because the 90s was full of mush like this that created the Adult Alternative label, which much like late 70s early 80s AOR, blew itself out and now mostly rests on its legacy. Cracked Rear View has songs you can pick out from one another, much like Asia; Fairweather Johnson, much like Alpha, sounds like a lot of the same thing with rule-proving exceptions.
