    Hootie sounded plenty confident minus the Blowfish on Learn to Live, his 2008 debut as a country act, so Charleston, SC 1966 doesn't reveal a singer more in touch with his twang.

    Darius' brand of country music, much like Radney's, is full of detailed, true-to-life accounts of love, regret and loyalty to childhood stomping grounds.

    Every one of the 13 tracks on this album are co-writes that he's had a hand in, but all the same, a certain autobiographical tone predominates.

    This album is in small ways slicker than his outstanding 2008 country debut, Learn to Live, and of course less surprising.

    In the end, Charleston, SC 1966 doesn't break any rules or new ground, and probably wasn't meant to.

    Rucker strictly plays by the rules but Charleston surpasses its predecessor on the strength of more vibrant and charming tunes.
