A very different album to the studio album, as you might expect. 6 songs of between 8 and 15 minutes each which seem to be, as the first song suggests, extended jams. This however is not a criticism. The songs wash over you and fully engage you, and it's hard not to clap your hands or stomp your feet as they say you should. 'Pressure' is a phenomenal song, particularly the incredible high notes reached by the bass player. It really is one for a long car journey, if you don't want to make a fool of yourself with your antics, or for a party if you and your friends don't care!

I (like another reviewer) first heard of Robert Randolph when he was supporting Eric Clapton on Tour. The energy that the band bring to the stage is enormous. I went out and instantly ordered their studio album "Unclassified", which blew me away. Shortly afterwards I discovered this album, and I hope you understand quite how good it is when I say it makes the studio album sound flat, and relatively pedestrian.
Despite nearly all the tracks being more than 10mins long, they never get boring or repetitive. The final track "Tears of Joy" is an absolute stunner, and is now on my list of favourite songs of all time.
Why does it dissappoint? At the end of the album you're left wishing that you were there in person. At the end of the last track, you hear Robert Randolph announce "We're just going to take a break for 15minutes, we'll be right back...", giving you the impression that you missed out of yet more of the most impressive musical talent I've seen for a while.
Go and buy the Studio album, listen to that, then order this one, close your eyes and crank the volume as high as it will go, just imagine that you were there.

Have just been listening to Robert Randolph from SXSW festival in Austin Texas on Radio 2. This band are acquiring a great reputation. Robert Randolph plays steel pedal guitar with amazing power and intensity. I first came across them on the Internet Music Archive http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php where you can download RRFB live concerts as high quality files. If you like music that leaves you breathless and which sometimes goes totally over the top you'll love this. Last year they supported Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall. How Eric was able to follow the high generated by Robert Randolph is a mystery. Give this album a try, get a few friends round, get up out of your seat and as Robert says: "Shake your feets". You will not be disappointed!

saw this band recently as the warm up band for the Tedeschi Trucks Band in Shepherds Bush and without doubt one of the most electrifying performances I have ever seen. Read more

Fantastic LIVE album!
I first heard Robert Randolph when I went to an Eric Clapton concert in 2004. It is obvious that Eric rates him because he invited Robert to play at the 'Crossroads guitar... Read more
