After well over a decade of making Christian music, these guys have the Grammy awards and platinum albums

melodies, driving rhythms, and good guitar playing.

engaging. Over time, they reveal an organic brilliance — slight touches and minor segues that make them more compelling.” — John Brandon, Christianity Today

In House of God churches since the 1930s, it’s been known as sacred steel.

We Walk This Road, the most recent studio album by Robert Randolph and The Family Band, features both secular and religious tunes, covers and originals, all bound together with an uplifting message of hope.

For Fans of: North Mississippi Allstars, Gov’t Mule, Widespread Panic

What Critics Say: “Sacred steel maestro Robert Randolph seems destined to play a big tent.”
