Preacher Kids is an album by Robert Randolph. It was released on June 27, 2025.[1][2]
Preacher Kids won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.[3]
On AllMusic, Mark Deming said, "[Producer Shooter Jennings] gets an admirably powerful sound from Randolph and his studio crew... as well as letting bassist Jay White and drummer Willie Barthel put down some potent grooves. On Preacher Kids, Robert Randolph gives himself the chance to cut loose and get gone for a change, and it sounds and feels really good."[1]
In Blues Rock Review, Lee Clark wrote, "The record comes in at just under 47 minutes of absolute perfection... Robert Randolph is a well-known pedal steel legend across multiple genres with multiple Grammy nominations, having worked with some of the biggest names in modern music, and with this new album, he's trying something a little different. The result is a blues rocker's dream."[2]
In Spin Magazine, Gerrod Harris said, "Truthfully, there is not a moment of weakness across Preacher Kids, guaranteeing heavy rotation on repeat as the album of the summer..... Preacher Kids is a revelation. Over the course of ten songs, Randolph delivers a revitalising take on both the blues and the pedal steel for our modern age."[4]
