An air of melancholy and isolation hangs over Hootie & The Blowfish's second major-label album. A similar air hangs over many follow-ups to whopping commercial succeses like Hootie's CRACKED REAR VIEW. But this South Carolina foursome is both too smart to follow that tired path in which stardom begets ennui, and a few miles on the road beget resentment and resignation. The darkness in their existential-pop love songs derives not from the world without, but from souls within. Meanwhile, they craft R&B-soaked folk-rock with the confidence of a band that's as popular as they wanna be. Propelled both inward and onward by their fame, they continue to cast for sad fish with happyish hooks.
The prevalent sound of FAIRWEATHER JOHNSON is dark folk-rock, with jangly guitars and melodies rooted in '60s rock. The country-gospel swing of "So Strange," awash in the sound of a Hammond organ, sounds like vintage Rolling Stones; "Silly Little Pop Song," which isn't silly at all, is Beatlesque down to an ooh-la-la-la backing chorus. The song structures themselves are also dizzyingly '60s-ish, many clocking in at three and a half minutes or less. But the band's tangle of Southern roots separates this from any other classic-rock homage. On the gorgeous "Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn," they invite country singer Nanci Griffith to join them in a country-rock ballad that could pass for acoustic R.E.M.; "Fool" is nearly Cajun (with an accordion played by former R.E.M. sideman Peter Holsapple); and "She Crawls Away" bounces to an island beat.
The arrangements cannily and cleanly incorporate cellos, violins and even a mandolin. They're topped and set off by Darius Rucker's nearly reckless vocal performance. Alternately slurring phrases and spitting them out with venomous love, Rucker's voice abandons reason in favor of pure emotion, as if to parry away the complaints that Hootie's art was based on craft alone.

Editorial reviews
3 Stars - Good - ...In addition to hooks and chops, great pop music needs a sense of tension and release; it also must have subtlety and nuance....Fortunately these are lessons that Hootie seems to be learning...
Rolling Stone  (05/16/1996)

...FAIRWEATHER JOHNSON expands Hootie & the Blowfish's medium but builds a wall around their message.
Entertainment Weekly  (04/26/1996)

AN EXPLANATION OF MY SHIPPING/HANDLING CHARGES.

I had a recent enquiry as to my shipping prices from someone in the US who had bought a double cd from me and was upset that there was a $6.00 difference in the price that was paid for shipping and the actual amount shown on the package.  The following was the response that I emailed this person.  I hope that this will help you understand the nature of this business.

Thankyou for contacting me and allowing me to explain myself.

My cost for the cd that you purchased is $12.55. I charged you $8.00 to deliver it to you. I did most of that delivery work myself, not like most vendors who just drop it in the mail. I actually drive 3 hours return from my home just east of Ottawa, Canada to Ogdensburg, New York to deliver the cd across the border so it will be in your hands faster than any mail service Canada offers.
Because of this action, there is no delay at customs and it usually arrives within 3 days. Unfortunately, there are people on ebay who charge rediculously high shipping rates and do nothing, which has cause(d) ebay to crack down, but I am not one of them. If I am more a delivery service than a seller of cds so be it. I have to make a living somehow.

After all the costs that ebay heeps on me and the expense of delivering it to you, and the current exchange rate, I barely make $2.00 on your purchase. I have to sell alot of cds to make a living. Please consider what I have said and let me know what you think I should do to continue providing inexpensive cds to you and others. I look forward to your response.


Kind regards,
Patrick

This person suggested I post this exactly as was written which I have done. 

 I drive down to the US once a week so if you need your item for a certain time be sure to let me know.  I will tell you when the next delivery date is and when you can expect your item.  If you are in Canada, I deliver every other day.

Thankyou for reading this.
