Robert Randolph's Inspiration

April 14, 2006
Robert Randolph isn't your typical rock star. He wasn't reared on rock or blues.... He discovered favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan shortly before making the leap from church to clubs. Over the last five years he's worked his way through the great American classic rock songbook from Vaughan, Stevie Wonder and Jimi Hendrix to more recently Led Zeppelin, Maroon 5 and Green Day.
It's those artists, as well as friends Carlos Santana, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, and Rob Thomas, whom he drew on while writing and recording his upcoming sophomore album. Tentatively titled "Color Blind," it's due in early summer....
