Subject: The Word

I have been listening to some music by African-American steel guitar players from Florida. They play in the "Holiness" churches where there has been a tradition of playing religious music steel guitar instead of an organ since the late 30s. The music is called “Sacred Steel”, and it mixes Gospel, Blues, and Rock. I bought a CD called “Sacred Steel – Traditional Sacred African-American Steel Guitar Music in Florida”. It is kind of a documentary, with extensive liner notes. Good music too.

A friend of mine turned me on to “The Word”, a CD featuring a 22 year old steel player from NJ named Robert Randolph. “The Word” was inspired by the Sacred Steel recordings. I am totally blown away by this music, and hope some of you will check it out for yourselves.

Cheers,
Steve
