Follow-up to 2006's 'Colorblind'
CLEVELAND -- Currently on a summer jaunt opening for Eric Clapton, Robert Randolph said there are plenty of new albums and tours in his mix.
First is the follow-up release to Randolph's 2006 effort "Colorblind." However, unlike his star-studded last album, the new disc -- which is produced by T-Bone Burnett, currently untitled and due in September -- finds Randolph both figuratively and literally embracing his roots.
"We really always wanted to work with T-Bone, whose idea was just go back and try to get the roots of where we come from -- to try to do something really original that sounds good and sounds big and sounds energetic," Randolph said.
"So that's what we tried to accomplish, and by him hanging around Bob Dylan and doing the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss record, he just wanted to do something with me that people will look at as the kind of career-defining recording," he adds.
Among the new tracks already receiving stage time are the Sly & the Family Stone-esque "I'm Not Listening" and the gospel-tinged slow shuffle "I Still Belong." In addition, studio musician Doyle Bramhall contributes to the album, playing on a cover of John Lennon's "I Don't Want To Be a Soldier." The disc also features the Sacred Steel Tradition outfit from Randolph's New Jersey hometown House of God Church.
"I was able to pull in some of the older guys from my church," Randolph said. "That's where I got my pedal steel, lap steel playing from. So we kind of created this sort of 'Buena Vista Social Club' and 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' record."
Randolph, who is joining the late summer/early fall Music Builds tour with contemporary Christian artists Third Day, Switchfoot and Jars of Clay, said he's enjoying his second go around as a Clapton opener.
Not only is he jamming with Slowhand on a nightly basis, but the two have discussed once again working together in the studio. While Clapton appeared on "Colorblind" for a cover of "Jesus Is Just Alright," it appears Randolph will be paying back the favor on the next Clapton studio effort.
Randolph said, "(Clapton) told me he's going back in the studio at the end of this year and he said he wants me to come in when he starts recording his record."

Will Smith film shoot annoys Hollywood neighbors
Will Smith film shoot annoys Hollywood neighbors
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Newsman) - The entire world loves Will David Smith, only not Dresden Graham, a 65-year-old retiree world Health Organization is waging a war against Smith's latest plastic film, the drama "Seven-spot Pounds," which is shot in her Hollywood region.
The production is based scarcely troika houses up from Graham's home, where she has lived in since the mid-'80s. Trucks pedigree the street, crews ar occupy setting up and hit polish, generators hum, and security measure and constabulary officers patrol the area.
Graham flour, world Health Organization has signs in her yard and on her family that read "Will John Smith, Go Moving picture at Your Mansions" and "Put Stool Toilets on Your Neighbor's House," has a litany of complaints. She doesn't like the fume-spewing trucks parked running in front of her house, where the production has placed portable toilets. She's non that keen on the planned night shoot that will go to 3 a.m., either, because it calls for brilliantly lights, rain machines and Great Danes.
"We had no pick," she says. "The neighbourhood had no pick."
But her biggest ill is with FilmL.A., the nonprofit organization organisation that acts of the Apostles as a link for the city, its residences and cinema companies.
Martha Graham points out, accurately, that FilmL.A. gets its funding through permits -- the more it issues, the more revenue it generates. And "Pounds" is the fifth production in six-spot weeks to occupy a two-block region about her home.
FilmLA says the house where "Pounds" is motion-picture photography has been used on only iV shoots in the past times yr. It doesn't ploughshare Graham's view that the area has hosted likewise many productions.
Residents are murmur, though, even though many work in the amusement industry and were reluctant to speak out against a big headliner like Smith and a bigger studio like Columbia. They sound off around noise and the loss of parking spaces, which military group certain flat residents to mungo Park at a nearby church and take a shuttle bus to their construction.
