Tuesday Tunes: Robert Randolph

So...a weekly feature is not really very good if it isn't actually weekly. That said, this week has been a particularly quick turnaround from one work trip to another, so this will be a short entry. It may be 10 p.m. on Tuesday, but technically it is still Tuesday, so I've not yet missed the deadline for Tuesday Tunes. Hopefully my readers (all 3 of them, on a good day) will forgive my tardiness.

Basically, this week's music doesn't need a lot of verbal analysis. Robert Randolph & The Family Band are best experienced simply by listening, feeling, dancing. As the lyrics so aptly state, "...the music gets in your soul...makes you want to lose control." To watch Randolph and his band jam together is to be infected with their genuine exuberance for the uplifting power of music. Theirs is a soulful, gospel-rooted, rock sound, and one you won't easily be able to purge from your brain as it loops over and over in melodic rhythm.
