Darius Rucker

After whiskey, tequila just might be the preferred spirit of country singers.

'The Metallica Blacklist' collects more than four dozen artists, all covering their favorite song from Metallica's lauded self-titled album from 1991, more commonly known as 'The Black Album'.

Rucker has been a prominent face in the music industry for nearly 30 years -- but not always in the country genre.

Portia Clark met Darius Rucker backstage at at event in 2017, but that's nowhere near the most interesting part of her story.

Darius says he couldn't believe it made national news.

The country singer paid for everyone's meal and left a "very generous" tip for servers.

Kane Brown, Luke Combs and Eric Church are among the other singers tied to the proposed baseball team.

It just about broke his heart.

It's sure to be an emotional highlight of the show.

It will make for a full-circle moment.
