Live From Studio B: Country Star Darius Rucker Performs
Country music has a shining new star: Darius Rucker. He's the former frontman for the 1990s pop group Hootie & the Blowfish. And now, he's the first black artist to have a Top 10 country
hit since Charley Pride.
His debut single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," made it all the way to No. 1.
Watch his interview with Farai Chideya, as he talks about crossing over to country music and growing accustomed to being the sole black face in a crowd of thousands.
Now watch as Darius performs three songs from his new CD, Learn To Live.
"All I Want"
"It Won't Be Like This For Long"
"Don't Think I Don't Think About It"
Which song is your favorite?
