Under the direction of the soulless Paul Schaffer and with the help of original
Stax session men Donald "Duck" Dunn, Steve Cropper, and Willie Hall the Blues Brothers played a mixed bag of cover tunes, always acknowledging their sources when
played live. At their best, the Blues Brothers made you feel like you had been invited to a Saturday Night Live
after party, exposing you to some great soul music and encouraging you to seek out the original tunes. At their worst, the Blues Brothers played coked-up obliterations of some truly great music. So, here are some of the originals, featured in
Briefcase Full of Blues, and the soundtrack to their first
movie.
