Darius Rucker Making Progress On Second Country CD
Darius Rucker isn't rushing through his next country album. He tells Billboard.com he's recorded several songs for his sophomore disc, but, quote, "I don't think the record's really taken shape yet." He also notes that the pressure he feels as he works on the follow up to his highly successful debut, "Learn To Live," is very different from how he felt with his pop group, Hootie and the Blowfish, as they worked on their next project after their massive 1994 effort "Cracked Rear View." Rucker says, quote, "That was a different animal. Now I feel like I'm making a record to solidify my career in country music. The pressure is finding songs; I've got a relationship with country radio, so I think if I deliver great songs, they'll play 'em."
Rucker is currently on tour with Rascal Flatts, still promoting his 2008 CD and its fourth single, "History in the Making." They'll be performing in Evansville, Indiana tonight. Rucker says he expects to have his new CD in stores later this year. |
