About this album
Briefcase Full Of Blues turned The Blues Brothers’ comic TV act into a surprisingly potent live blues record. Captured at the Universal Amphitheatre in 1978 and released the same year, it rides on Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s high-energy performances, backed by a seasoned band featuring Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn. Rather than novelty, the album delivers tight, gritty Chicago blues and soul with standout readings of songs such as Hey Bartender, Soul Man and Flip, Flop & Fly. It became a major commercial hit and helped introduce a wide audience to classic blues and R&B through a mainstream pop-culture phenomenon.
