JONEZY Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I liked their cover of "Stand by your man", great background vocals by Blue Lou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamisonic Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I used to play a Blues Brother computer game my dad got for me years ago, it was damn fun! That's why I love them. Never heard their music though.Once I saw about 15 minutes of the movie, too. But I don't remember anything except them running through a supermarket on a car!

Genesis Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The episode of Drake and Josh where Drake and Josh both dressed up as the blues brothers had me in stitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The Blues Brothers Band contained several great musicians (Duck Dunn, Steve Cropper) but they were hardly a real band! I would go with the Chess house band, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Fred Below, Otis Spann, Little Walter, and Jimmy Rogers, who were replaced at times by other greats such as Sonny Boy Williamson II, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Sam Lay, Jerome Arnold, Pinetop Perkins, Otis Rush, and on and on and on and on...

They even began releasing albums. The only reason it didn't go any further was due to John Belushi's death. Dan's rendition of Rubber Biscuit is great. But my favorite is Everybody Needs Somebody (to Love). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said...according to a documentary I saw, the movie and Briefcase of Blues album brought blues (in general) into the mainstream, and before the film's release the music was kind of shrugged off by most people. After the movie, basically, white people found it accessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Blues, which is what they mostly did, would never have reached an audience outside of the south side of Chicago if it weren't for Paul Butterfield, who achieved national notoriety and played at the Fillmore and such, giving blues a niche in the cultural-musical revolution of the 1960's. You could claim that The Blues Brothers, then in the late 70's, gave the blues mainstream exposure, but what happened after that? SRV and that is about it. So they did bring it to the mainstream but not much happened due to it, and NO ONE would have heard it if it weren't for Butterfield, so I give him more credit.
