About “The Color Of” by R.W. Roldan
“The Color Of” is a song that shines some light on the ignorance and fear that contributes to racism and the judgement of others based on race, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
Boasting an Americana flavor, "The Color Of" provides accessible music and melody to a difficult subject that needs to be discussed in our culture.
“Racism is a cancer on humanities heart.” – R.W. Roldan
Featuring RW Roldan on lead vocals and guitar; Jenna Blake on backing vocals; Max Allyn on guitar, bass, percussion and backing vocals; and Eamon Rylan on pedal steel, lap percussion, and lead guitar, "The Color Of" was produced by Max Allyn.
“What makes the color of a man’s skin a capital crime?” – R.W. Roldan, “The Color Of”
