ROBERT RANDOLPH RETURNS TO NFL THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Amazon Prime Selects Robert Randolph's "Take the Party" as This Year’s Anthem

Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football is gearing up for another electrifying season with pedal steel guitar virtuoso, producer, and composer Robert Randolph once again setting the musical stage. Following the success of last year’s inaugural broadcast season, where Randolph’s track "Ain’t Nothing Wrong With That" was the soundtrack for the pregame video, Amazon Prime has now licensed a remix of Randolph’s song "Take the Party" from his album Lickety Split. This new remix will serve as the theme song during the entire 16-week regular season, playing at both the start of the broadcast and in the moments leading up to kickoff, as well as during the halftime spotlight.

Randolph’s collaboration with Amazon Prime for a second year solidifies his uniquely funky blend of Sacred Steel, rock, and soul as the pulse behind one of football’s biggest weekly events. His dynamic energy, captured in "Take the Party," promises to bring the same spirit to sports fans watching from home as it did during last year’s season.

Beyond his role with the NFL, Randolph has remained at the forefront of the music industry. He has earned 13 Emmy Awards for his work on music scores for sports broadcasts across a variety of TV networks. He has spent the past few years touring with iconic acts such as Zac Brown Band, Slash, Ziggy Marley, Trombone Shorty, and Mavis Staples, while also making a memorable appearance at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival last year. His versatility as an artist continues to shine, with features on the Elvis movie soundtrack as well as on Beyoncé’s latest singles, "16 Carriages" and "Ya Ya," further cementing his position as a sought-after collaborator across genres.

In addition to his ongoing success, Randolph is preparing for the release of his highly anticipated new album on Sun Records, produced by Shooter Jennings (known for his work with artists like Brandi Carlile and Tanya Tucker). Recorded at both Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles and Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Studios in Nashville, this forthcoming solo record finds Randolph stepping outside of his work with the 6-time Grammy-nominated Robert Randolph & The Family Band. The album promises to showcase Randolph stepping into his own as a solo artist, bringing a fresh perspective to his already storied career.

More details about the new album will be revealed soon. In the meantime, fans can look forward to hearing Randolph every Thursday night during the NFL season, keeping the party going on and off the field.
