American
pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph has been blazing a trail across
America with his "Family Band." Randolph is considered by "Rolling
Stone" magazine one of the greatest guitarists of all-time and his
studio albums have charted well. Robert Randolph & the Family Band are an amazing "live band" as their shows are a history lessons oozing with
blues, funk, soul and rock vibes. On February 17th, Sony will be
releasing the new Robert Randolph & the Family Band album titled
"Got Soul."
The new
album features a dozen tracks that will have you become a fan after only
one listen. Beginning with the southern romp of the title-song,
Randolph's guitar shreds through this gospel-like rock number. The sound
of "She Got Soul," has a nostalgic feel as Anthony Hamilton lends his
vocals to this quick-paced song. Darius Rucker sings and Robert Randolph
shreds throughout the soulful, countrified-blues of "Love Do What It Do,"
while Cory Henry (Snarky Puppy) lends a hand on the re-imaged cover of
Sam & Dave's "I Thank You." Randolph lightens the mood with the
two-minute instrumental "Heaven's Calling," before closing out his new
album with the electrifying rock riffs of "I Want It" and the feel-good
funk/R&B groove of "Gonna Be Alright." Robert
Randolph & the Family Band are hitting the road in early March for a
U.S. tour that runs into the beginning of April. For a complete list of

From Burbank, CA comes the latest release from
singer/songwriter/producer Binky Womack, nephew of the legendary Bobby
Womack. Binky's new album titled "Womack Style" was released through the
U.K. label, Gonzo Multimedia. His new twelve-song release begins with the bright, up-tempo soul/pop beats of "Sunday Morning."
Binky gets his R&B groove moving on "Just Enough," then pays
tribute to the great Sam Cooke with the smooth vocals of "Nobody Loves
Me Like You." Snoop Dogg lends a hand with the background vocals of
"Love Addict" as Binky finds the perfect setting for his funky R&B
style. Then he steps out into a new light with the up-tempo rock number
"When You're Wrong," before reworking John Mayer's "Gravity"
into a great soulful blues number. He finishes up with a modernized
version of the classic Bobby Womack tune "I'm In Love" and then plugs in
for the electrifying rock of "Put Something Down On It" as Binky
showcases his skills on the guitar. To find out more about Binky Womack
