| 5.0 classic | taylormemer | May 8th 09 |
The most important thing about this movie is that it opened the eyes of a public who were getting way too much sweet-candy-new-wave-disco-electronic-gizmo-gadgetry, and not enough Rayban-sunny-raw-blues. Not too far down the timeline and Stevie Ray Vaughan's shortlived stardom would revive this brilliant style of music. For now though, the soundtrack races along in an ol' 1974 Dodge cop carrier with plenty of raw energy, soulful fun, and an all star ensemble cast. Why not let the showmanship of Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, John Lee Hooker, and the Blues Brothers Band itself with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, take you on their extravagant mission from God?

Just like the movie itself, this soundtrack is nothing short of amazing. There is so much dynamic, colour and energy from each and every song here. A prefect representation of the upbeat rhythm and blues style in the sweet time of 1980. Donald Duck Dunn offers some of the tastiest bass lines you will ever hear, and the wide range of guest musicians are world-class. This album is ridiculously accessible, while also displaying extremely soulful and impressive musicianship from all members. Highlights are 'She Caught the Katy', 'The Old Landmark', 'Think' and 'Theme From Rawhide'. The soundtrack should be a fun listen for anyone regardless of musical taste.

The ultimate soundtrack, hosting the likes of James Brown, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. An amazing movie that changed the face of blues and rock with fantastic collaberation with stars of that moment in time producing never ageing hits.
