Talkin' Blues: Robert Randolph

Tim Carter

Robert Randolph is at the forefront of what's known as the secular "Sacred Steel" movement. Coming out of the Church Of God, this music is has quickly spread across the country and the globe in the last decade. On this podcast, Randolph talks about the origins of the lap steel guitar in his church, as well as how uplifting music and popularity aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

Jon Norton is the program director at WGLT and WCBU. He also is host of All Things Considered every weekday.
