- Robert Randolph Ushers In Steel-Guitar Soul With 'Lickety Split'
The 33-year-old frontman of Robert Randolph & The Family Band has strong roots in gospel music. As a kid, he grew up attending the House of God church in Orange, N.J. That's where he first played the "sacred steel" guitar, a driving force behind the band's soulful new album, Lickety Split . In the 1920s, African-American Pentecostal churches began using the steel guitar in place of an organ.
