Where this album fits

Career context
Released on March 4, 2003, this self-titled album came after Hootie & the Blowfish's commercial peak in the late '90s. Following their earlier successes with 'Cracked Rear View' and 'Fairweather Johnson', this album marked a shift as they sought to reconnect with their core sound after a period of relative quietness.
