I want to send a BIG congrats to Darius Rucker. I dint watch the CMA's but i heard that he won and get this Rucker is the the first black performer to win a Country Music Association Sward for Best New Artist. (say what?) Well, since leaving Hootie and the Blowfish, Rucker dropped his debut country album, 'Learn to Live.' The album reached platinum status and got Rucker three back-to-back No. 1 singles this year.*sidebar* Rucker is the second African-American artist to take home a CMA Award, following Charley Pride, who was named Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist back in 1971
Funny thing is there are several black country singers, but of course they don't get any shine! Congrats again!
