Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

Chronique amazon.fr

Contre toute attente, voici une formidable initiation au blues pour tous ceux qui sont trop jeunes ou bien qui sont passés à côté. Ce film culte avec John Belushi et Dan Ackroyd, qui contient la plus grande poursuite de voitures jamais vue à l'écran, a engendré une B.O. devenue à son tour un classique. Les versions présentées sont extrêmement divertissantes, surtout après avoir vu le film, et les interprètes invités ont été recrutés parmi les grands. Le "Think" d'Aretha Franklin est particulièrement réussi, et tout ce qui peut faire connaître Cab Calloway ("Minnie the Moocher") à un nouveau public est une bonne chose. Ce disque a réussi là où beaucoup de bandes originales de films échouent, et met à la fois en valeur le film et les musiciens. --Scott Wilson

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun way to popularize the blues, Feb 24 2004
By 
therosen "therosen" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blues Brothers: Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)
Take two comedians with an interest in the blues, give them a backup band, a movie, and some creative license, and look at what comes out...

The songs go from the campy (Peter Gunn & Rawhide) to the dancable (Shake Your Tail Feathers) to the standard (Sweet Home Chicago & Minnie the Moocher). With a phenomenal backup band (The old Saturday Night Live orchestra) and some classic guest vocalists (Chaka Khan, James Brown and Ray Charles to name a few) it's a treat for the ears. Eleven songs pack both a variety and depth of fun music.

The only downside on the album is two missing songs. Some might expect Soul Man, which was perhaps Belushi & Akroyd's most famous tune. I personally missed John Lee Hooker's Boom Boom Boom Boom, my favorite song and artist from the movie.

That said, the CD is great for those looking for a smiling memory of the movie or a wide pop introduction to the blues. I'm generally not one to review too many CDs, but this one warrants a good plug!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great soundtrack, Jan 30 2004
By 
Matthew Edmundson (Winter Haven, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Blues Brothers: Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)
Blues Brothers was an excellent movie and one of the things that made it so awesome was the spectacular music. Fans that loved the music must pick this up.

What other soundtracks have artists like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and James Brown on it. That alone should be a selling point to fans of oldies and blues music. You also get to hear Jon Belushi and Dan Akroyd singing as Jake and Elwood.

Almost all the songs from the movie are on the soundtrack. It's got the theme from "Rawhide" which was the only song they put on it that the band sang in the bar. I wish they would have put "Stand By Your Man" on it, but that's the only knock I have against this classic soundtrack. Pick this one up, you'll like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take it for what it is, Sep 25 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blues Brothers: Original Soundtrack Recording (Audio CD)
Some reviewers here (the ersatz blues/jazz/R&B/gospel 'purists') are taking this album waaaay too seriously. The boys in blue -- and remember, they are/were comedians first and foremost -- are celebrating the great musical traditions found on this soundtrack with the utmost respect, not trying to compete with them. The fact that the theme from "Rawhide" should clue in the most pedantic blues critic that this is all in fun. Take it as such, and it's a great repeatable soundtrack.
