About this album
Best Of The Blues Brothers distils the appeal of John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd’s tuxedoed R&B revival into one crowd-pleasing compilation. Drawing on the band’s late-1970s and early-1980s recordings, it brings together signature versions of songs such as Soul Man, Gimme Some Lovin’ and Everybody Needs Somebody to Love, alongside rougher, bar-room numbers that show how effectively the project balanced humour, musicianship and loving genre homage. Arriving in 1981, the set reflects the Blues Brothers’ success in turning Saturday Night Live skits into a credible blues rock and rock ’n’ roll phenomenon, with tight arrangements, punchy horns and unmistakable showmanship.
