    If you're going to be tooling down the middle of the road, Learn to Love is perfectly pleasant accompaniment.

    If you consider Darius Rucker's bajillion-selling voice something of an old friend, Learn to Live is worth a listen. Otherwise? Meh.

    Learn to Live, his second solo album (in 2002 he released “Back to Then,” a tame, awkward, largely unpleasant collection of neo-soul), is impressively eclectic and sharply written. It’s one of the year’s most vibrant country albums.

    If there were any doubts about how Darius Rucker would fare in the country world, the Hootie & the Blowfish frontman puts them solidly to rest on his genre debut.

    Awesome CD. Darius does a great job jumping into the country genre. Critics hate "If I Had Wings," but I think it's a beautiful song. My Awesome CD.

    Awesome album. Saw him in 1992 in a bar in Columbia SC and knew he was going to be a big star!
