Darius makes radio history, makes Opry debut tonight
Yes, Darius Rucker as in Hootie and the Blowfish. Haven’t ya heard? He’s gone country. Fer real.
In fact, his first country radio single, Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It, already is around No. 16 on country radio charts.
A side note: It has been exactly 20 years since an African-American broke the top 20 on country charts. The man was Charley Pride, the song, I’m Going to Love Her on the Radio.
Darius tells me he’s quite psyched and quite nervous about the Opry performance tonight.
“I haven’t eaten much today. I was having lunch with my wife and daughter. She was like, ‘Why aren’t you eating?’ I was like, ‘I really don’t feel much like eating,’” he said.
“I’m pretty nervous,” Darius said. “But it’s a cool thing.”
