In 1997, Elwood re-formed the band being joined by the late Jake's brother, Zee Blues (James Belushi) in the hope of recreating that once great sound of The Blues Brothers. Sadly, it didn't work. It's just not the same without Joliet Jake! But having said that, it is actually quite a good album as the audience is surprised with guest many stars including Eddie Floyd, Sly Johnson, Billy Boy Arnold, Lonnie Brooks, Sam Moore, and a lot more. And if that isn't enough, the Brothers are - of course - joined by the usuals, Steve Cropper, Matt Murphy, Donald Dunn, Lou Marini, Alan Ruben and Paul Shaffer.
They play some fantastic renditions of songs, including "Flip, Flop and Fly" and "Sweet Home Chicago", but I noticed they have the tendency to play some of them a bit too fast, which is a shame really as things this good shouldn't be rushed. This is most noticeable in "634-5789" (with E.Floyd) and "Born In Chicago". But that's the only problem (apart from possibly Brother Zee's vocals being slightly out of tune in "Viva Las Vegas", but we can forgive him for that because of his ability to play the harmonica...) and the amount of talent from each of the musicians on this CD makes it something special.
If you are an avid Blue Brothers fan, you should on all accounts get it (but don't listen to it directly after 'Briefcase Full Of Blues' or 'Made In America' as you may feel it's a bit of an anti-climax). If, however, you're not a huge fan, you should only get it if you have a gift voucher left over from your birthday, or something similar. There are better Blues Brothers albums around.

It was a shame how quick the blues brothers came to an end but they still live on with help from other blues players, the Saturday night live crew and of course, the man who became Elwood, none other that Dan Akroyd. The surprising thing on this album is to find that Juliet jake has been replaced occasional by little brother zee. There are some great live tracks on this and I would love to see them publish material that has been recorded but never put onto cd. The other members of this group appear on the film blues brothers 2000. The film also features john goodman who dose not seem to be on this album. I would love to see more of there material made available.
