Recording information: Emerald Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. Hootie & the Blowfish emerged in the mid-1990s as the people's band, purveying an amiable brand of all-American roots rock full of optimism and devoid of irony. Naturally, in the process, they rose to the top of most hipster rock critics' hate lists, but endeared themselves to millions of listeners nevertheless. Some 10 years after their peak of popularity, LOOKING FOR LUCKY found them still defying their detractors by relentlessly pursuing their sun-dappled musical vision. Though by this time the band was recording for an indie label, neither their wide-screen production style (John Mellencamp producer Don Gehman is behind the board) nor their open-hearted approach had diminished one iota. Though social and political strife do occasionally rear their heads in the lyrics, the overwhelming feeling on LOOKING FOR LUCKY is one of perserverance and positivity, bolstered by layers of jangling guitar, chiming mandolin, and, of course, Darius Rucker's unmistakable, mountain-sized voice.
