Listening to the musical mastery displayed on UNCLASSIFIED, it's hard to believe this is only Robert Randolph's first studio album, arriving on the heels of his in-concert debut record LIVE AT THE WETLANDS. Randolph comes out of the Sacred Steel tradition that mates gospel music with virtuosic pedal steel guitar playing. With the Family Band, he takes that sound a step further by incorporating the jam-band-friendly rock format that's found huge success with live audiences. By turns funky and bluesy, he weaves his fiery-but-lyrical steel lines in and around a groove-based rhythm section, through songs that leave plenty of room for instrumental prowess. The gospel rave-up aspect of it all is what gives UNCLASSIFIED such a distinctive feeling, giving the proceedings a particularly celebratory, somehow redemptive feeling. Whether you get the spirit or not, the bombs-away jamming that is the group's stock-in-trade is undeniably exciting, and Randolph's work is downright soulful.
