| Song Listing |  |
| | On his second studio outing, Robert Randolph leads his Family Band through a typically energetic set. Although it features guest appearances by Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and R&B vocalist Leela James, COLORBLIND is clearly Randolph's show from start to finish, with his passionate voice and searing steel-guitar work at the fore throughout this assured set. Randolph deftly mixes funk, soul, and rock, and gives the latter style unexpected prominence on fierce tracks such as the stomping "Thrill of It" and "Homecoming," a gospel-tinged song that is marked by slightly ominous six-string riffs and blistering solos. For those seeking evidence of Randolph's sterling reputation, COLORBLIND provides 11 strong examples.

| Entertainment Reviews
 | Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Colorblind - CD By: El Bicho - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/5/2006 7:53 AM | | While I enjoyed Colorblind, its sound has too much pop and polish and the messages were too repetitive. The album comes across like it’s trying to reach for a wider audience, playing songs with more structure instead of the loose jams. Personally, I prefer Randolph unleashed and wild, seemingly out of control. I hope this is a quick detour before he returns to the path less traveled. New fans should be turned onto the band’s sound, but I can’t say the same for fans gained in a live setting.
