In 1992, country star Darius Rucker ’s mom died of a heart attack. That was two years before his band, Hootie and the Blowfish, would release their debut record “Cracked Rear View." It went No. 1 and eventually become diamond certified, twice.
Carolyn Rucker didn’t get to experience her son's incredible success — either in the rock band, or in the 2000s, as a Grammy award winning country music superstar. It's been 10 years since he released his cover of “Wagon Wheel,” one of the most popular country songs of all time.
