That was two years before his band, Hootie and the Blowfish, would release their debut record “Cracked Rear View." It went No. 1 and eventually become diamond certified, twice.
“I was writing the record, I was having a bad day, you know, bad mental day. And I just remember I sat there, and I said to myself, ‘At the end of the day, I’m just still my mama’s boy.’ And that was really the moment for me, you know, that’s what the record is,” he told The Associated Press. “It’s me just being who she raised me to be.”
