Blues Brothers 2000: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Description

Product Description Blues Brothers 2000 is director John Landis' (National Lampoon's Animal House, Trading Places, An American Werewolf in London, etc.) sequel to his 1980 comedy/musical hit. Reprising his signature role as Elwood Blues is Dan Ackroyd; the new film also stars John Goodman and Joe Morton. Music in the film includes performances by Blues Brothers Band, Junior Wells & Lonnie Brooks, Aretha Franklin, Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett & Jonny Lang, Blues Traveler, James Brown, Dr. John, B.B. King and others. .com The world was hardly waiting with baited breath for a sequel to John Landis' endearingly sloppy "Blues Brothers." In fact, "Blues Brothers 2000" left nary a vapor trail in theaters on its way to unsuspecting video and cable patrons. Misguided, though lovingly executed, the cross-generation soundtrack makes as much room for Johnny Lang and John Popper as it does for Wilson Pickett, Junior Wells and Paul Butterfield. And how can you not like a record that treats Fred Steiner's classic "Perry Mason Theme" to blues treatment? --Jerry McCulley
