Robert Randolph makes crazier, wilder more creative rocking blues while sitting down than just about anyone and everyone standing up and crashing through gun slinger slide guitar. At JazzFest Saturday, he brought a massive crowd at the Southern Comfort Blues Stage to a frenzy of singing, dancing joyous chaos.Like many of the performers during the 6 day fest, Randolph brought heart and soul for New Orleans to the performance and, in one song, took on the policies and clueless inefficiencies of the Bush administration response to the storm and its effect on the people of New Orleans. As with Springsteen the previous weekend, the crowd went with him and was grateful for the solidarity he expressed.
Then... they got back to dancing.
