Back in around 1978, the Blues Brothers were hot. They consisted of Jim Belushi, Dan Akroyd and a host of wonderfull musicians including "Mr. Entertainment" Paul Shaffer.
The band started out as a bit on "Saturday Night Live" and they made a few movies including "The Blues Brothers". The movie was so popular it spawned a couple of lps including "Briefcase Full Of Blues."
It went double platnium in 1978 and it is one of the best blues lps ever. With tunes like "Soul Man", "Rubber Biscuit," and "Hey Bartender," I have found myself listening to this cd over and over again.
You can find this work on amazon.com for as little as $4.00. It is worth it.

Hi Greg! Funny I happened upon your post! I was checking our DVR schedule last night and was REALLY EXCITED to see someone had the movie Blues Brothers in the que to be recorded this very day! I remember when I was a kid, my friend Steve and I would sing "Rubber Biscuit" together in his dad's band room and had a wonderfully fun time! I catch my son, age 14, singing "Soul Man" from time to time and it always brings a smile to my face! Thank you Greg, for bringing a smile to my face this day with your post! It's always a blast to remember the songs from the past that remind you of happy and carefree moments! And what a cast of musicians in Blues Brothers! I'll be watching it tonight to be sure! Blessings to you and yours! Love, Melinda
