"Ed and I have been talking about writing for a while and just never got to do it," lead singer Darius Rucker tells Billboard. "Finally, I flew over to England and we're sitting around writing a couple of songs and we get this really great melody and I'm freaking out."

Hootie's current tour wraps up with three shows in their hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, and they plan to film and record the first two of their three shows there on Sept. 11 and 12.

"So that's Hootie doing it the Hootie way again."

But as for another Hootie tour in the future, Rucker says, "That would be something we'd have to discuss long and hard...I've got more country records to make, some other stuff to do. I'm sure some time down the road we'll get together and do it again, but we don't know when yet."
