Drummer Steve Gadd and bassist Christian McBride join Sanborn on the album, set to be released on August 12 by the Decca Label Group.

"I was very honored to have such an incredible array of guest artists on the album," notes Sanborn, "who really round out the sound of this record."

Randolph, who is joining the late summer/early fall Music Builds tour with contemporary Christian artists Third Day, Switchfoot and Jars Of Clay, says he's enjoying his second go around as a Clapton opener.

Not only is he jamming with Slowhand on a nightly basis, but the two have discussed once again working together in the studio. While Clapton appeared on "Colorblind" for a cover of "Jesus Is Just Alright," it appears Randolph will be paying back the favor on the next Clapton studio effort.

Randolph says, "(Clapton) told me he's going back in the studio at the end of this year and he said he wants me to come in when he starts recording his record."
