Hit: 5 Stars
Starting out as a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live and performing at a New York City after-hours bar for SNL cast, crew and guests, comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi took their appreciation for the blues and R&B through the Blues Brothers and delivered a new appreciation for the music in an era of punk, stadium rock and disco.
Recorded live at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles, California, the vocals of Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues are bolstered by an all-star lineup of musicians, including Matt Murphy and Steve Cropper (g), "Duck" Dunn (b), Paul Shaffer (k), Tom Scott (sax) and Lou Marini (sax).
Released in December 1978 by Atlantic Records, the album achieved double-platinum status, while reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The two singles - released in 1979 - Rubber Biscuit and Soul Man, peaked at numbers 37 and 14, respectively, on the Billboard Hot 100.
Aykroyd and Belushi had fun - especially with the oftentimes over-the-top stage antics - but their aim was true in singing the blues.
Free Music Review: Blues education
Hit: 4 Stars
While we tend not to take John and Dan seriously, in this case they are. And it's seriously entertaining.
The real credit needs to go to the orignal authors of the music they cover. But, if nothing else, this is a great way to get an education in some classic Jazz.
Not many white guys can pull off "singin' the blues". It's worth listening just for that!
Free Music Review: Full of Good Times

I love the Blues Brothers and this CD was great! Fun songs for young and old :)Free Music Review: We're on a mission from God.
Hit: 5 Stars
If it wasn't for Jake and Elwood, the blues would have never had the kind of revival they had 20 years ago. (And there would never have been a House of Blues!) And this concert, this CD, captures all the excitement and joy of blues music. I highly recommend this CD - fun to listen to and a pleasure to play while in your own Bluesmobile!
