Robert Randolph and “Sacred Steel”

Clip: 9/15/2013 | 4m 36s

We talk with artist Robert Randolph about the origin of his pedal steel guitar music.

We caught up last month at the 9:30 Club in Washington with Robert Randolph and the Family Band and their “House of God sound.” Lap steel and pedal steel guitars were embraced in worship in place of an organ. Today Robert Randolph is one of the most talented sacred steel musicians around.
