 Label: Warner Brothers
Sound/Style : Funk-rock with soul and gospel elements
Robert Randolph, an African-American who hopes to offer black musicians an alternative to the often violent rap culture, has already established a presence among the ranks of star guitarists like Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton. Clapton's guest appearance on Randolph's latest CD, Colorblind, single-handedly validates the young musician's contribution to the pop mainstream. Their duet on the classic rock staple "Jesus Is Just Alright" proves that the sacred in "sacred steel" need not be entirely lost in translation: "Jesus is just alright with me/ Jesus is just alright, oh, yeah/ Jesus, He's my friend/ Jesus, He's my friend."
