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

    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 favorite on the CD? "Alright." Good job, Darius!

  1. These songs aren't knockouts, but they're friendly and comfortable, the kind of sturdy roots-pop that seems like it'd be easy to pull off but must not be, as this delicate balance of conversational melody and guy-next-door appeal has proven elusive to Rucker for over a decade now
  2. If you're going to be tooling down the middle of the road, Learn to Love is perfectly pleasant accompaniment.
  3. If you consider Darius Rucker's bajillion-selling voice something of an old friend, Learn to Live is worth a listen. Otherwise? Meh.
