One of the best Blues Brothers albums
what happened to "Soul Man" and "Rubber Biscuit" those are their 2 best songs. I just got this album yesterday and I played it and it was awsome there is only a few problems 1. and 2. what happended to the 8 minute version of "Sweet Home Chicago" this is only a 2 min. and 45 sec. version but other than that this is a great album and one of the best Blues Brothers albums it also is great that they did highlights for "Green Onions", "Sweet Home Chicago", "Messin' With The Kid" and "Flip, Flop & Fly" and one last thing the thing that made this a good album was original Blues artists singing their best songs and The Blues Brothers's song highlights.


Play it loud
The intro started and it gave me goose bumps as though I was at the concert. I have not played this cd in several years and decided to give it a spin. It just took off from there and I turned up the speakers, by the time Sweet Home Chicago started my walls were shaking. The vocals are not world class but the music and jams can not be beat. Sice you can only purchase it used I suggest you spend the quarter for a very solid blues album. .


The official Bootleg!
The Blues Brothers Band at their best. . But with the wrong vocalists!

The band setup is probaply the best they ever had! Danny Gottlieb on drums and "Duck" Dunn on base are grooving their way throug old R&B and Soul tunes. . . The soloing by the various musicians (M. Murphy, Cropper, Lou Marini) is very solid (there could be more!).

When they performed live no one of the band members knew that they were recording the concert! Unfortunately they had Aykroid and Belushi (Brother Zee (?)) on the stage who are below average as vocalists which destroys the great sound they had on that evening (otherwise it would be their best "Bootleg/live CD")!

I would pick out "Green Onions", "Born in Chicago", "Messin with the Kid" and "Flip, Flop and Fly" as the highlights.

If you listen to the music (and not the vocals) you will hear one of the best R&B bands ever. . .

Tunes like "I got the bucks", "Big Bird", "Peter Gun" and "Everybody needs somebody to love" are unfortunatelly missing. . .

All after all a nice cd. But check out:

Matt Murphy - Way down south: Great blues cd!

Matt Murphy - Lucky Charm: New cd feat. the Blues Brothers Horns!

Tower of Power - Live 98: Funk and Soul band with great horns and groove!

Lew Soloff - Rainbow Mountain: Lou Marini plays jazz!

There will be a new Blues Brothers CD coming soon. . .

Tim.


Very good!
Buy it, it's a good album!. Well, After John Belushi's death, the Blues Brothers are never been the same, but James Belushi is a good one for the band, so this CD is better than "Live In Montreaux" and really better than "Red, White And Blues".
