Hootie and the Blowfish Singer Leads Country Crossover PackDuring a recent interview with a DJ in Tampa, Florida, Darius
Rucker got some shocking news: His solo single "Don't Think I Don't
Think About It" had hit Number One on the country charts five
months after its release. "I started crying," says Rucker, whose
album Learn to Live has sold 112,995 copies in three
weeks. "I felt like such a dork, but it was really emotional. I'm
in Hootie and the Blowfish, man. A lot of people don't get second
chances."

Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris Talk Rock at Country Music Hall of FamePhoto:Gries/Getty In the new issue, Rolling Stone’s Andy Greene reports on why mainstream artists like Bon Jovi and Jewel are going country, but what do country’s legends have to say about the trend? Rock Daily found out last night at the Country Music Hall of Fame/All For the Hall NY Benefit at Nokia Theatre in Times Square. • Darius Rucker Leads Country Crossover Pack “There wouldn’t be rock & roll if there wasn’t country,” host Billy Bob Thornton announced after a performance with his band The Boxmasters. “So any time you’re up there bumping your ass on the dance floor, remember that.” Country luminaries Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, Levon Helm, Jerry Douglas and Rodney Crowell were all in attendance, as well as Larry Campbell, who joined them for a haunting, two-hour guitar pull filled with impromptu collaborations of Harris’ “Tragedy,” Crowell’s “Still Learning How to Fly” and the Band’s epic “Evangeline.” Before the show, 2008 CMHOF inductee Emmylou Harris took some time to address the country crossover that seems to be dominating the music industry. “I could have been considered an interloper myself, coming from the world of rock and folk with Gram Parsons,” she said. “But I don’t think anything should be closed off to anybody. People are influenced by a lot of different things, so everything is bleeding into everything else.” Vince Gill, who serves as president of the Board of Officers and Trustees of the CMHOF, also embraced the crossover. “I always root for the lines to be blurry,” he said. “The Eagles were always country, but the records in 1975 weren’t country at all in comparison. Music is so much more important than the label you stick on it.” Related Stories: • Darius Rucker Leads Country Crossover Pack • Eagles, Kenny Chesney Lead Country Music Award Noms • Beyoncé Ropes in Country Fans • Jewel Goes Country

Brian Wilson Receives Hootie Salute at Kennedy Center Honors Ceremony If the Rock Daily TiVo hadn’t malfunctioned, right now you’d be watching an astonishingly weird clip of Brian Wilson being celebrated at last night’s pre-taped Kennedy Center Honors. After a touching look back at the Beach Boy’s life narrated by Art Garfunkel, Lyle Lovett warbled “God Only Knows.” Then the words, “Ladies and gentlemen, Hootie & the Blowfish!” echoed through the theater and Darius Rucker and Co. took the stage in matching green and blue flannel shirts to perform passable versions of “I Get Around” “Fun, Fun, Fun” and “California Girls” (which were noteworthy mostly for the reaction shots of George Bush jerking his head off-beat in the balcony). An English boys’ choir wrapped things up with a sweet rendition of “Love and Mercy” and as beach balls floated down from the ceiling, Wilson’s neighbor Diana Ross — who was honored by Jordin Sparks, Ciara and gospel star Yolanda Adams, and spent much of Wilson’s tribute stealing his camera time with exaggerated gasps and crazy eyes — reached out and plucked one from the air for him. It was a touching moment. … But seriously, Hootie? Brian Wilson is the patron saint of indie rock, so certainly they could have found anybody else to come play this gig. Paul McCartney? John Cale? Animal Collective? (We can imagine the post-show now: “Mr. President, I’d like to introduce you to Panda Bear.”) Heck, even John Stamos has proven himself more devoted to the Beach Boys’ catalog.
