The Blues Brothers was so much more than a movie. It was a showcase for some of the absolute best talent in the blues/funk/R&B world at the time. Not even mentioning the guest appearances in the movie, this band itself is a masterclass. Willie Hall on drums, Matt "Guitar" Murphy and Steve Cropper on guitars, Duck Dunn on bass, Lou Marini on saxophone, Tom Malone on trombone, Alan Rubin on trumpet, and George "Murphy" Dunne on keyboards. Beasts, all of them!
There are many different versions robert johnson, clapton, etc guitar junior johnson. But this is perfection. Every single Player is spot on 👌. Its like a cooking recipe with the perfect ingredients.
You have to give credit to the late great Robert Johnson who recorded this song in 1936. Those guitar notes are hard to play, but Robert Johnson was a gifted Blues Guitarist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Home_Chicago
Hadn't seen it in a while, so I kicked back tonite and laughed my ass off!!! Great movie!! As I age I am really starting to appreciate more these classics....as well as their soundtracks. THIS is music!!👍👍
The only reason Mom and I went to see this film was it was over 100 degrees that evening and the apartment was not air-conditioned but the theater was. Then it turned out to be absolutely delightful.
I was fortunate to see Sam and Dave in Indianapolis many years ago (80s). We danced our posteriors off. Sam and Dave took the time to say thank you to the Blues Brothers for bringing their music back.
Elwood Blues (Dan Akroyd) hosted a Radio Show radio 📻 titled The House of Blues. I love the way Blues Music pioneered Rock and Roll. Carl Perkins had a Blues Style Sound to his Rock and Roll/Country style sound which he is credited for coming up with the Rockabilly Sound. ZZ Top is a good group that likes to mix Blues in their Classic Rock Sound. Their hit La Grange is a very good example.
John Belushi was a good enough Blues singer to have done it professionally. He had a perfect voice for it, and the material they chose to cover was just brilliant and showed a deep knowledge of Blues and R&B. What began as a comedy wound up being one of the most important musical documents of the 20th Century!
there are of course better, rosolino, fontana , watrous and many many others. having said that, all musicians KNOW that TOM BONES MALONE did honor to the world many times including sweet home chicago. a real class act.
I can't help but wonder what some of the great Swing Band artists of the 1940's would have thought of this arrangement. It's not swing, not quite blues, not quite boogie-woogie, but there's a compelling beat to it that's hard to ignore. The way each instrument is featured throughout the nearly eight-minute-long song rivals even that of Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing." This is a great driving song.
This is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best films i have ever seen. Great cast, Amazing music and that it makes you laugh your head off, still watch it over 35 years after i saw it for the first time.
I was a toddler when the original Blues Brothers skits were on SNL, but I love this music deep in my soul. Belushi and Ackroyd will forever be both music legends and comic geniuses.
A Chicagoan here!! I’ve been in California for the last month for work and just feeling incredibly homesick 🙁. This just lifted my spirit. Blues brothers!!!👍
This movie never gets old. Outstanding music, funny jokes, great special effects. What more can one ask for? RIP John and know you are not forgotten down here.
Endless FREAKING moving sidewalks for miles to get to the L is what I remember when I lived there. For that I always tried to fly into Midway. I don't like living in cities but I enjoyed my time in Chicago back in the early 00s
My brother and I went to a Holloween party as the Blues Brothers in 1986. We won first place , got a hundred bucks and drank free all night. Those were fun day's.
i went to a Chicago blues, jazz club in 1976,still hooked on Chicago blues and the big horns, this is one of the greatest blues, jazz songs i have ever heard.
My Mama was born there also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to school in River Forest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the Blues from this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chicago, I'm a coming back in 335 days!! for now the Blues Brothers shall live in my heart, far away from our homeland. I raise my glass to Joliet Jake & Elwood Blues. Sat 8-10-19.
One of the greatest songs on the face of the earth. Not originally a Chicagoan, BUT, I 'f'in loved Chicago. Also born in 79, part of the greatest eras in music, boom. BLUES BROTHERS.
Henry Gibson was hilarious as the head Nazi, especially when they drove of the edge of the freeway when his right hand man said " i have always loved you" the expression on his face when falling through the air was priceless.
It was such a shame that we lost John Belushi so early, he was so talented... Go and check out the albums they did as the Blues Brothers, such good music!!!
Such a shame when John left us because he was so talented and just beginning to shine. Him and Dan would have definately made more films together. RIP to a legend one of a kind man. One of my favorite films of all time. I remember seeing it at the drive inn when I was a kid.
Still love it all these years later. I was stationed in the Navy north of Chicago at that time and played this 8 track all the time on the way back when I would go back home to Detroit!
I Do Not Believe This Band Has Ever Gotten The Recognition For How Truly Great They Were. This Was A Collection Of Some Very Good Musicians Who Checked Their Egos At The Door And Were Able To Put Together Some Of The Greatest Covers Of Some Classic Songs. This Song Shows Each Musician's Talents In Different Solo Arrangements Through The Song And The Final 2:30 Minutes Bring All Of Their Talents Together In One Classic And Monumental Jam Session. I Hope I Am Wrong But I Do Not Think We Will See Such A Collection Again In My Life-Time. RIP To The Members Of The Good Ol' Blues Brothers Boys Band That Have Joined The Band In Rock-N-Roll Heaven....Cuz You Know They've Gotta Helluva Band.
My mom is from Chicago as is most of her family, so we spent a lot of time in the city (we live just south of the city). My Dad LOVED the Blues Brothers. This song makes my heart happy.
Nobody has ever and never will hold a candle to the Blues Brothers. This is still just as fresh listening to it now as it was when it was first recorded.
