Proudly wearing their reputation as America''s "ultimate bar band", it's hardly surprising that in compiling this rarities collection, Hootie & the Blowfish invited their fan base to choose a third of the album's 15 tracks (and its cover design) by voting at the Web site of a beer company. The result is a de facto tribute to much of the band's own favourite music, from vintage staples such as Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby", "Use Me" by Bill Withers and Zeppelin's "Hey Hey What Can I Do" (13.98 percent of the virtual pub poll) through REM's "Driver 8", the Reivers' "Araby" and "Almost Home" (14.24percent) to seemingly improbable choices such as an unplugged rendition of Tom Waits' "I Hope I Don't Fall in Love with You", Vic Chestnutt's "Gravity Of The Situation" and the Smiths' "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" (13.11 percent). Even on Kim Richey's countrified "Let Me Be Your Man" (the poll topper at 15.47 percet), frontman Darius Rucker and company display an uncanny ability to unify--and homogenise--seemingly disparate material into their own endlessly bubbly brew. --Jerry McCulley (Review copyright Amazon.co.uk)
