	Description:		As a performer, Robert Randolph is nothing like the guys who play pedal steel in country music. He sets off pedal steel fireworks with his gospel-rooted soul-funk; he'll dance around the instrument, wrestle it, push it off its four legs, moved by the spirit - an ecstatic spectacle. Randolph, on his 2017 record Got Soul, continues to take the pedal steel where it has seldom been heard before – recruiting special guests like Hootie and the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker, R&B crooner Anthony Hamilton and Snarky Puppy's Cory Henry – and exploring those other musics: rock, funk, soul, jazz, and jam band music. On Fessender pedal steel, Robert Randolph and The Family Band play in-studio. (From the Archives, 2017.)
