In the latest episode of Us Weekly’s 'Anatomy of a Song,' Hootie & the Blowfish's Darius Rucker shared insight into what went into creating ‘Let Her Cry’
With songs like 'Hold My Hand' and 'Only Wanna Be with You,' it's hard to nail down which of Hootie & the Blowfish's tracks is their best — but you have to admit, 'Let Her Cry' is pretty special. In the latest episode of Us Weekly’s “Anatomy of a Song,” Darius Rucker shared some insight into what went into creating the hit tune.
“I went to the next bar, made them play it, next bar, made them play it,” Rucker continued, noting “She Talks to Angels” was “just the greatest song I've ever heard at that point.” Rucker played the song a few times before retiring to bed — but the next morning, he remembered he had written what would eventually become a fan favorite. “I was living with our bass player Dean and I was like, ‘Dean, I wrote a song, we gotta listen to this,’” the “Wagon Wheel” singer continued, noting the pair agreed it was “actually pretty good.”
“That's still one of my favorites,” he added, noting getting a Grammy for “Let Her Cry” is among one of his top career moments, in addition to Cracked Rear View being certified 21-times platinum.
