Read and write album reviews for Cracked Rear View - Hootie & the Blowfish on AllMusic Cracked Rear View has a tight runtime of 43 minutes. I really enjoyed hearing those old Kootchypop versions. "Cracked Rear View" reached Number 1 in the Billboard Top 200 five times in 1995 and produced four of their biggest hits: "Hold My Hand" "Let Her Cry" "Only Wanna Be with You" "Time" Hootie & The Blowfish won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best New Artist, and "Let Her Cry" won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. I recommend this to any Hootie and the Blowfish fans. ... "Cracked Rear View" deals with death, racism, drug … It is soft rock with a '90s edge and has a brilliant sound. WITH SOUNDSCAN-CERTIFIED sales of 8.5 million for its Atlantic debut, Cracked Rear View, the humble South Carolina bar band Hootie and the Blowfish … What went wrong? Cracked Rear View was the biggest selling debut album of all time in the U.S. in 1995 but now owning up to having a copy is akin to spitting on the American flag.

I bought the original Cracked Rear View disc when it came out back in 1994 before that I had a copy of the Kootchypop EP that came out in 1993 but it got misplaced. There isn’t a real miss on the album, except perhaps the hidden track, an underwhelming cover of “Motherless Child”.
