Customer Reviews:
Who would think that Darius could do this....November 13, 2008 Kyle Kinney(Ohio) A Cd this great only comes around a few times a year, and Darius Ruckers CD would rank number one against most of them. This is one of those CD's you can listen to from start to finish without skipping a track. With his smooth vocals and great storytelling, any country fan who wouldn't pick this up would be out of their mind. Take my advice and pick up this GREAT country CD, you will not be disappionted.

Learn to LiveNovember 4, 2008 Teresa Stockwell(Denver, CO USA) EXCELLENT! Every song could be a #1. I love the richness of Darius Ruckers voice. Loved him in Hootie but this CD is Far Superior!

Absolutely fantasticOctober 29, 2008 A Busy Reader 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I haven't felt compelled to write a review of a music album since Miranda Lambert's debut (which I wore out.) When I heard that Darius Rucker was working on a country album, I was cautiously optimistic. He has such and incredible sound to his vocal talent .. but another 'cross over' country artist?
When the single for "Don't Think I Think About It" came out, I was excited. It's a good song. But the album blows that single away. Forever Road reminds me of some of Keith Urban's work. It's by far my favorite on the album (it's a happy song.) The bonus song to his mother "I Wanna Thank You" puts me in tears, along with "It Won't Be Like This For Long".
