{"title":"Robert Randolph","description":"Robert Randolph is a fiery pedal steel guitarist and vocalist whose soulful blend of gospel, funk, and rock has made him one of the most electrifying live performers of his generation. Rooted in the Sacred Steel tradition of Black Pentecostal church music, Randolph and his Family Band deliver a joyous, hard-driving sound that bridges the sacred and the secular. Their album \u003cem\u003ePreacher Kids\u003c\/em\u003e showcases that spirit in full, offering listeners an infectious mix of groove and devotion.","products":[{"product_id":"robert-randolph-colorblind-cd","title":"Colorblind CD","description":"Robert Randolph learned his trade as a pedal steel guitarist at his Orange, NJ church and his group made an immediate impact on the jam-band circuit, opening for the North Mississippi All-Stars and Medeski, Martin \u0026amp; Wood.  Up until now, their recordings have focused on capturing the group's dexterous improvisatory skills and their boundless energy.  With their second studio album (and third overall), the Family still primarily fly the jam-band flag, but they do so with a greater ear towards making sure the song doesn't get lost in the maze of solos.  A few guests stop by - Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews - and songwriting credits include a number of veteran names, but it's still Randolph's show.  It's his thick tone that smothers these tracks and cousin Marcus Randolph's drums that cement these grooves.  While the band play in the here and now, their influences are clearly born from ‘70s textures.  \u003ci\u003eAngels\u003c\/i\u003e touches on Gamble \u0026amp; Huff Philly Soul, while \u003ci\u003eDiane\u003c\/i\u003e sources the ghosts of Funkadelic.

By Randolph's own admission, their 280 date-per-year touring pace had taken its toll: playing music, let alone trying to find time to create it, had become a chore.  Their Blue Note debut, Lickety Split, features an expanded FB lineup that includes vocalist Lenesha Randolph and guitarist Brett Haas; the group has gone back to its earliest recorded efforts for inspiration while furthering their new music considerably.  The end result resembles their live sound more than any studio record in their catalog.  Co-produced by the FB with Randolph's songwriting partners, it was primarily engineered and edited by Eddie Kramer, and mixed by Jim Scott.  Opener \"Amped Up\" delivers the FB's trademark party-time meld of screaming hard rock, funk, gospel, blues, and R\u0026amp;B, all at full-tilt and in the raw.  \"Born Again\" delivers the band's signature gospel message with celebration.  The gorgeous call-and-response vocals between the Randolphs, and guest Bekka Bramlett, and the meaty, contrasting guitar interplay between Robert and Haas, are irresistible.  Soul, Cajun-country, and gospel are at the heart of the dreamy yet earthy Lenesha-led, \"New Orleans.\"  Speaking of NOLA, Trombone Shorty lends his horn and energy to the gospelized, Crescent City-flavored stomp of \"Take the Party.\"  Carlos Santana makes two appearances here as well.  On the driving funk of \"Brand New Wayo,\" he delivers a fine, overdriven B.B. King nod when prompted by Randolph, while bassist Daniel Morgan lets his Bootsy freak flag fly and pushes the tune into the red.  The rangy, pulsing hard rock gospel blues in the title track gets high marks for Randolph's tasty fills and the soulful vocal exchanges.  The cover of the Ohio Players' \"Love Rollercoaster\" has its horns supplanted beautifully by the color palette from Randolph's pedal steel, and Morgan's knotty, funky bassline.  The other cover here is an off-your-seat-and-on-your-feet reading of the Rascals' \"Good Lovin,\" with Dwan Hill adding his B-3 to the mix and trading fours with Randolph, sending it all off in party-down version of a Möbius strip.  Lickety Split is not only a joyous, unhindered return to form, but the group's finest studio offering to date. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: July 16, 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Blue Note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 5099998408023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Robert Randolph and The Family Band","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43361890926819,"sku":"Robert Randolph and The Family Band (4)","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/products\/LicketySplit.jpg?v=1471616608"},{"product_id":"randolph-robert-got-soul","title":"Got Soul CD","description":"Got Soul is the 2017 release from Robert Randolph \u0026amp; The Family Band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: February 17, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Masterworks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 889853694723\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Robert Randolph and The Family Band","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15863689904194,"sku":"Robert Randolph and The Family Band (5)","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/products\/600x600bb_bdeb9c2d-11ef-4423-9872-e8f4b6e88192.jpg?v=1561050267"},{"product_id":"randolph-robert-got-soul-vinyl","title":"Got Soul Vinyl LP","description":"Vinyl LP edition of Got Soul, the 2017 release from Robert Randolph \u0026amp; The Family Band. 180 gram vinyl.
