    This is killer stuff, with Randolph providing a supply of unbelievable sacred steel licks. [Jul 2015, p.92]

    All these years on, Soul Food may sound as revolutionary as its predecessor, but it is stronger and far more adventurous musically.

    It’s a catalog of strengths, a romp through sacred steel music, blues and Southern soul that often sounds as if it could have been recorded in heated performance.

    The mostly original songs capture the gospel spirit in ballads (“The Highest”), funk (“Speaking in Tongues”), New Orleans second line (“Soul Food ll”) and driving blues rock (“Play All Day”) that will satisfy existing fans of any of the participants and win over some new ones too.
