Unclassified is the first studio album by Robert Randolph and the Family Band.
PopMatters magazine reviewed the album favourably, concluding that "the one quality that holds it all together is joyousness". It described the opening track, 'Going in the Right Direction', as "a gospel-tinged, two steppin’, inspirational, tune that simply burns". The single taken from the album, 'Soul Refreshing', was described as "a light-hearted, groovy, feel good-tune in the vein of Al Green or perhaps even James Taylor". [1]
