Colorblind

Robert Randolph & The Family Band: Robert Randolph (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, pedal steel guitar); Danyel Morgan (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar); Jason Crosby (vocals, piano, Hammond b-3 organ, keyboards); Marcus Randolph (vocals, drums). Additional personnel include: Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews (vocals, guitar); Leela James (vocals). Recording information: Ronnie Milsap's Groundstar Labs, Nashville, Tennessee. On his second studio outing, Robert Randolph leads his Family Band through a typically energetic set. Although it features guest appearances by Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and R&B vocalist Leela James, COLORBLIND is clearly Randolph's show from start to finish, with his passionate voice and searing steel-guitar work at the fore throughout this assured set. Randolph deftly mixes funk, soul, and rock, and gives the latter style unexpected prominence on fierce tracks such as the stomping "Thrill of It" and "Homecoming," a gospel-tinged song that is marked by slightly ominous six-string riffs and blistering solos. For those seeking evidence of Randolph's sterling reputation, COLORBLIND provides 11 strong examples.
