So decided to hunt for their CDs here in Malaysia and Singapore. You won't believe me when I tell you nobody has ever heard of them in this region! WTF??! So logged on to Amazon.com and purchased both their albums (Wetland and Unclassified)! The best purchase of music I had done in a long time! ]]> 379683@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Jun 2006 00:12:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/14/182551.php#comment-65681 Robert Randolph & the Family Band is money, they are so amazing.

I was also impressed by Ben Harper's lap steel playing with Toots and the Maytalls recently on SNL. ]]> 58047@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Apr 2004 18:53:59 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/14/182551.php#comment-58044 And if that's not enough, Robert & Family will be opening for Clapton this summer in Europe and the US.
