Darius Rucker has been dominating the radio since the mid-'90s, with his Hootie & the Blowfish hits and now with country music albums.

Rucker is preparing to drop his fifth country album, When Was the Last Time, on October 20, which features No. 1 single, "If I Told You" and "For The First Time." In addition to releasing plenty of new songs, Rucker promises duets with some "special guests."

"I wrote a lot of the album, but I also probably [recorded] more outside songs this time than I usually do because I'm getting such amazing stuff," Rucker told CMT.com. "But we're excited. We've got some special guests. We've got some really fun things on this record."

His album release comes on the heels of a series of CMT partnerships he has lined up, including his CMT Crossroads with John Mellencamp from March and the all-star CMT Crossroads: Earth, Wind & Fire concert special, which aired in June.

Rucker is known to be an avid golf fans and launched his new monthly SiriusXM show, "On Par with Darius Rucker," on Wednesday on the network's PGA tour Radio.
