Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075678278723 Format: Original recording remastered, Soundtrack Label: Atlantic / Wea Manufacturer: Atlantic / Wea MPN: 82787 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Atlantic / Wea Release Date: August 29, 1995 Studio: Atlantic / Wea 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 Average Rating:
 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: - Great Movie, Great SoundtrackThe Blues Brothers do it again with their second album to go along with their big screen debut. The Blues Brothers' Band is just as good as the first album but this time they have added great guest appearances to make it even better. When you add greats like Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, and Aretha Franklin how can you go wrong? 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. ...

Those 3 take you right back into the movie and justify the cost of the CD right there, then the other classics are icing on the cake. Required CD for anyone who loved that cult classic movie. Rating: - Blues Brothers SoundtrackMy aerobic instructor used this music in our class. The workout was so much fun. I saw the movie a long time ago and it bought back fond memories. I purchased the recording and have enjoyed listening to it over and over again. I'm now thinking of buying the movie. It's a classic! |
