To have Hootie & the Blowfish on a Led Zeppelin tribute album back in the nineties is like having Huey Lewis and the News on an Ozzy tribute show today. People who remember Boston's rock station WBCN would also probably scoff at the idea of Hootie being featured on the station. And yet, they were. For a hot minute, Hootie was being blown up (no pun intended) as the Next Big Thing in rock! And then their third single "Only Wanna Be with You" came out, and everyone started to course correct. But hey, it got them on a Led Zeppelin tribute album.
