Album Of The Day: Colorblind by Robert Randolph & The Family Band

Album Art of Robert Randolph And The Family Band's Colorblind album - On a blue-ish purple background, a large circle of leaves are visible around a circular center, maybe to look like a large flower of golden leaves with a bright light behind them. The middle of the flower has been digitally altered to look like the cone of a speaker though it is still the same golden colors as the flower. There's also stray leaves and debris around the flower, like this is all an explosion. Printed around the speaker cone on the left and right are white lightning bolts, and a line of electricity goes between them into the speaker. Printed above the speaker is a large double-R logo and the band's name in white text, with the album title below the speaker.

"It's a party, y'all. Come on." Released 20 years ago on Saturday, this is the third album by rock group Robert Randolph And The Family Band. This album is a non-stop party. Randolph started playing pedal steel guitar at his church and he was so good at it, he kept playing at other kinds of venues like clubs, Bonnaroo festival, and more. After a live album and a studio album that were mostly just jams and showed off the band's skills, they released this album with more traditional song structures along with the non-stop excellent musicianship. This album is a blend of rock, R&B, funk, soul, and much more. The band does jam a bit on their cover of "Jesus Is Just Alright" which features Eric Clapton on guitar as well. But the rest of the songs are 3-4 minute songs about life, love and more. Dave Matthews also joins the Family Band on "Love Is The Only Way". This album is a ton of fun and I highly recommend you give it a listen.
