Cracked Rear View is the 1994 debut from Hootie & The Blowfish, the South Carolina band who went from college bars to every radio in America on the strength of big, open-hearted songs. Produced by Don Gehman for Atlantic, it is built around Darius Rucker's warm baritone and a bright roots-rock jangle that never tries too hard. "Hold My Hand" and "Only Wanna Be with You" are pure sunshine, "Let Her Cry" shows the ache underneath, and "Time" is a sneaky highlight. A defining sound of mid-90s radio that still feels like summer.
