Darius Rucker needed someone to hold his hand after finding out he was receiving a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n

Rucker, who earned success in the country music industry after leading Hootie & the Blowfish for more than three decades, exclusively told Fox News Digital that he doesn’t feel as though he’s truly reached the pinnacle of his career.<\/p>\n

“I think the thing that keeps me working so hard is I always feel like I haven’t done enough,” he said.<\/p>\n

With tracks including “Only Wanna Be With You,” “Hold My Hand” and “Let Her Cry,” the debut catalog for the band from South Carolina was released in July 1994 and has been certified platinum 21 times over.<\/p>\n

“I mean, it’s the 30th anniversary of \u2018Cracked Rear View,\u2019 and that record is so important,” Rucker said as he boasted about one of the “top 10-selling studio records of all time.”<\/p>\n

“We should probably go out and play on the 30th anniversary of that.”<\/p>\n

Hootie & the Blowfish went on to release four more studio albums before going on hiatus in 2008, leading Rucker to pursue an entirely different genre: country music.<\/p>\n

Rucker hasn’t stopped recording as a solo artist either. He recently released his eighth solo album, “Carolyn’s Boy,” a tribute to his late mother who died in 1992 just as Hootie was picking up steam. \u00a0<\/p>\n
