Editorial Review: 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 Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Aint nothing but a party!"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! Rating: - blues brothers cdgreat service, great cd, love to order from amazon!My five year old grand-son loves to listen to this cd. I sat on the old one and broke it, so had to get one here quick! Rating: - BLUES BROTHERSI cannot give you any input as I have not received this merchandise as of October 29, 2008. Rating: - The Blue Brothers SoundtrackThe CD and case were in perfect condition with This Brothers Soundtrack. I think of the movie when I listen to it and I'm very pleased. Rating:  - What a disappointment!"The Blues Brothers" film has two of the transcendant moments of rock & soul music - Aretha Franklin's revisiting "Think" and Ray Charles' high octane take on "Shake a Tail Feather." So why, on this soundtrack CD, did the producers choose other versions? And what's with all the fadeouts? It's not like there wasn't room on the cd. The Ray Charles recording has much less energy than the one on the film, and the Franklin cut doesn't seem as tight. Plus "Jailhouse Rock" omits most of the solos. This could be a great soundtrack, but it deserves a much better treatment than it receives here. |
