“Fairweather Johnson”
November 19, 2018{October, 1995} When Hootie & the Blowfish entered the studio to record their second album in 1995, they had months of touring experience under their belts. “We were playing so well at the end of the tour, and that translated right into the studio,” Dean Felber recalled. “That togetherness went from the stage right onto the tape.” With help from producer Don Gehman, the band created an album that displayed their growth as songwriters and musicians since their debut album.
The media was quick to label ‘Fairweather Johnson’ Hootie’s “sophomore slump” after its April 23, 1996 release. But once again, the music spoke for itself and still went Triple Platinum selling 3 million copies!
