All the songs are a bit forced and are following a cliche in the succession of theme intro + guitar solo + bass solo +theme and so on.Surprisingly, I found the guitar playing pretty dull and repetitive.

Honestly, this is the first album that I have purchased in a LONG time. Nothing has really moved me enough to put down the cash, but I saw these cats on PBS on Austin City Limits and immediately went online and bought both albums. I burned CD's and listened all night while I worked. I never got tired of these jams, and now three weeks later I still am not tired of them.

Bottom line is that RRFM can just freakin' PLAY!! The boys have SICK talent that just blazes up the air waves and makes you smile the whole time. Another post said that "this music just makes you happy" and its true. A couple days after I bought the albums, I went to RRFM's website and dropped them a note that said "your music makes me joyful. thanks".

If you like bluesy-rockin-funk played with alot of energy by a crew that just SMOKES and a guy who can't help but be real-to-the-bone, then you will seriously dig the licks these cats are crankin' out. I plan on seeing them lave as soon as they come my way. The boys are way OFF THE HOOK CRAZY GOOD!!

Their other album is just as good. Don't waste time, buy both. You will not regret it.

My new favorite band! Imagine Al Green singing for the Family Stone with Duane Allman on guitar. Call them Stevie Ray Wonder! They are a genre-bending, jam-band with infectious grooves that simply said make you feel real happy inside. As good as this CD is, it doesn't quite capture how exciting they are live, but it gets close. This band is going to be very popular, and radio or MTV will have nothing to do with it. 4 of the 11 tracks are instrumental.

I caught Robert Randolph & the Family Band on Austin City Limits and I was hooked. How refreshing to hear a musician that can actually play his instrument and someone from the Gen X, Gen Y or whatever that isn't a clone of every other band out there. And hey, this guy is not afraid to proclaim his faith and love of people. This band rocks. This bluesy rock revival music just lifts you out of your seat. The band is tight. Robert Randolph is today's answer to Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, etc. Randolph's style is Jeff Beck with a funky edge, in fact I would love to hear Randolph and Beck do I NEED MORE LOVE from the Unclassified CD. This is a great fusion of the pedal steel guitar and blues/rock. Buy this one.

I never knew anything about a 'preaching' influence or gospel past, before I bought this album. I saw them on Leno, and thought HOLY CRAP, this group smokes. I sat there just nodding my head along with the music, and thought, "I've gotta get me some of that". Needless to say, I forgot the name of the band, but did an exhaustive search on the internet, until I found out who those guys were. I have since bought the CD and I can't stop playing it. The talent of the musicians really are what got me into it. The pace of the first 3 tracks get me jumpin. I pull up next to another car at a light, and I have "Nobody" cranked up, and I see people look at me and nod their heads. (that doesn't happen much when I have Slayer playing that loud). But this is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone interested in music. Not songs, but music. In fact, For Musicians Only should be labeled on this CD Case. I have much respect for Robert Randolph. This is funkabluedelic at its best. Forget about anyone who makes the claim that this is about gospel and preaching. If you never heard that and bought the album, you'd just think of it as great music.
