 I was told to my face that somebody who didn't think their audience would ever accept a black country singer. That was when being a black country artist really became something, a crusade for me. Darius Rucker is touring the nation right now with Hootie and the Blowfish. His new memoir is called Life's Too Short. He recently sat down to discuss his multi-genre journey across the world of music, starting when he was a little kid. One of his favorite artists was Al Green. Darius especially loved the track For the Good Times.
