Just a Minute!,

This review is from: Live in Montreux (Audio CD)
I admit I was caught out with this, I got a little too excited at the prospect of a Blues Brothers album which I didn't already own. The trick is it's The Blues Brothers Band, but not the actual Blues Brothers singing on it. They are still a good band and it's a good record, but not in the same league as the real Blues Brothers recordings, those had that extra fun element which is not found most music.
Having said that, the opening track; Hold On, is excellent, but some of the standards; Knock on Wood, Midnight Hour are less than excellent and the songs that I would associate with Blues Brothers; Soul Man, Hey Bartender, Sweet Home Chicago just don't sound the same without the actual Blues Brothers. I would only recommend this if you are intent on collecting "Blues Brothers" material like me, otherwise there are plenty of recordings of these songs out there, some are better, The Blues Brothers spring to mind.

For those of you needing a Blues Brothers fix...,
By Walter Five - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live in Montreux (Audio CD)
This is a fine CD of Blues Brothers material, featuring the original Blues Brothers Band and frontman Larry Thurston, performing at Montreux Jazz Festival on July 12, 1989. From the late '80s through the early 90's, the Blues Brothers Band was a popular touring act throughout Europe, with Mr. Thurston doing a fine job on lead vocals. None of the other 90's Blues Brothers frontmen (Dan Ackroyd, John Goodman, Jim Belushi) appear on this CD or in this Line-Up. Not exactly "essential", but a good performance of the tour band during this period of the band's history. Get this after you've gottenThe Blues Brothers Complete and The Blues Brothers & Friends: Live from House of Blues.
