Darius Rucker: The Beatles for me are it

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and musician Darius Rucker joined host Kenneth Womack to talk about discovering the Beatles’ music as a young child, the “most perfect record ever made,” his new memoir “Life’s Too Short” and much more on “Everything Fab Four,” a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.

Rucker, best known as the founder and frontman of ‘90s rock group Hootie & the Blowfish – the multi-platinum selling band behind the hits “Only Wanna Be With You,” “Hold My Hand” and “Let Her Cry” – told Womack that while growing up, “Music was very important in our household. I don’t even remember a time when music wasn’t always around.”
