Inspired by the lovable Saturday Night Live white-boy blues schtick of Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, director John Landis seemingly threw every harebrained stunt he could imagine--and millions of dollars in production costs and wrecked autos--onto the screen. The resulting film could have been mistaken for a bad case of Hunter S. Thompson's D.T.'s, but Landis never shortchanged the music: Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles all get their moment in the spotlight. Miraculously, the chic-shabby Blues Brothers, anchored by the Stax rhythm section of Cropper and Dunn, hold their own against the legends, perhaps by the sheer joy and love they have for the music. --Jerry McCulley

Summary: One of the best movie soundtracks ever!
Comment: First and foremost The Blues Brothers Movie is a great cult classic in the same vein as Animal House, Spinal Tap, etc.. And the music is one of the central characters. This is the soundtrack that re-energized the careers of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and James Brown in the 80's. John Belushi and Dan Akroyd do an adequate job on their tunes while Charles, Franklin, Cab Calloway and Brown truly shine. Finally, through it all, the absolutely first-rate, crack, back-up band created a sound that can never be duplicated. With such veterans as Duck Dunn, Steve Cropper and that awesome Horn section - this soundtrack delivers greatly on a sonic level, if nothing else. If you haven't heard or seen the movie recently, pick this up for a great reminiscent ride!

Summary: Aint nothing but a party!
Comment: "Blues Brothers" features two of the 70's best comedians, in the midst of a dancing frenzy, backed by the best (and most expensive) session musicians, in a celebration of rhythm and blues. The brothers don't just sing about a riot in cell block number 9, they LIVE IT! The talking introductions to songs, jokes, and repartee frenzy, again and again, into a crescendo of fun. Musically, the horn section gives the party a New Year's tone, the percussion section drives the tempo hard, like a drunk dancer, until the back-up singers lay the frosting on this cake. Jake and Elliot! Lou Marini! Big fun!
