Hootie!: How the Blowfish Put Pop Back into Pop Rock

By Mike Miller

Book Overview

The book captures a band that seems completely out of time and place amidst the swirling, schizophrenic rock of the 90's. But with their infectious blend of pop and rhythm and blues, the Blowfish struck a chord with millions of listeners who were ready for an alternative to alternative rock. From frat parties to major U.S. tours, Mike Miller takes the reader not only on the road and through the years with the band, but with many other pop bands of the day such as R.E.M, U2, the dB's and hundreds of notorious and lesser known groups. What emerges is a jam-up ride into America's rock culture of the last two decades.
