Ben’s Rating: 
Chances are you’ve never heard of Robert Randolph and the Family Band. If you have heard of this group then you’re probably in the minority of music lovers. It’s a band that’s relatively new on the scene; with the emphasis on “relatively.” They’ve played with greats such as Eric Clapton and Dave Matthews, which is evidence pointing toward their musical aptitude. To say that they’re extremely great musicians is an understatement.
The style of their music is somewhat hard to pin down but they definitely lean toward old-school funk (cf Brick House by The Commodores) and Black Crows style rock and roll. Eight out the ten tracks on their Colorblind CD completely rock me. The other two are “so so” and I usually hit the “next” button on my player.
If you enjoy listening to music from the Black Crows, Dave Matthews and Eric Clapton, but you still like a little bit of funk in your groove, then I highly recommend Robert Randolph and the Family Band.
