Thanks to my friend Tim for letting me know about Robert Randolph and the Family Band.

A couple of paragraphs about the band’s new album, We Walk This Road, provides good insight into what the band is about:

[Producer] T Bone Burnett shared the vision of how gospel, blues and rock could be put together in a way that could relate to my history and connect to my present. It was important to us that we make the record we wanted to make, even if the end result was unclassifiable. We just focused on making great songs and great music that spoke to me, and that reflected the way I try to speak to the world.
