Music kicks a**, vocals bring the star rating down, Mar 10 2011

I am a huge electric blues fan, as well as a Blues Brothers enthusiast, but on this CD there's at least one guy (not Aykroyd) who is hollering along but can't sing, and it comes off sounding like some drunken college dudes singing along in a bar. The music is inspired and totally rocks, but the vocals bring down the musical highs. If this is the only Blues Brothers CD you own, you must check out the rest- the others are great, and they don't suffer from inferior vocals.

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". Buy it, it's a good album!

I just got this album yesterday and I played it and it was awsome there is only a few problems 1. what happened to "Soul Man" and "Rubber Biscuit" those are their 2 best songs. 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.
