"Well, folks, I'm a Hootie & the Blowfish fan ever since they released "Cracked Rear View" back in 94. I think this album "Musical Chairs" is a fantastic buy. Once again we are able to enjoy the sound of Darious, Dean, Mark and Soni as they put together some really fun tunes, one of them being "Bluesy Revolution". The CD starts with "I Will Wait" which kind of reminds me of the Fairweather Johnson album. The 4th track is "Only Lonely" which is a kind of continuation of "When I'm Lonely" from their previous album. It has the same feel to it. "Michelle Post" is one of my favorites from this CD. It's a short and simple song with a guitar and a banjo and some cool vocals. "Home Again" is track number eight on this album and is the perfect sing-along song. You'll get hooked, I promise. Last but not least, track ten is titled "Desert Mountain Showdown". I don't know where they came up with that title, but it's another great sounding song with excellent lyrics. Anyhow, you'll be tapping your feet and trying to match that amazing baritone that only Darious can do as you listen and enjoy this, yet another Hootie & the Blowfish classic!"
