Robert Randolph & The Family Band Release “Brighter Days”
Robert Randolph and the Family Band are back with a new album called Brighter Days, which was produced by Dave Cobb. Randolph chose Cobb for his work with newer country stars like Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson.
“Dave Cobb is just a guy who likes to record good music and good songs,” says Randolph. “He wanted to do something that was fun but it also gives you a gospel feeling. He knows the history of our band, coming from church and giving that fun church feeling to people.”
Randolph’s band is aptly named: each member is a relative of his. That includes bassist Danyel Morgan, who helps to deepen the groove with blues, gospel, and R&B lines. Check out his playing on “Second Hand Man”:
Brighter Days is available now on CD, vinyl and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
