Editorial Reviews

Whether or not it reaches the heights of its predecessor is the stuff of water-cooler debates. One thing is for sure though: this album smokes! Blues fans as well as rock listeners will definitely take a liking to BLUES BROTHERS 2000. There are some fine originals and re-workings here and the tempo never slows. The musicianship throughout is excellent but doesn't sacrifice spontaneity. This is borne out by 'Born In Chicago' (with a wailin' harmonica solo) 'The Blues Don't Bother Me' and 'Maybe I'm Wrong.' While The Blues Brothers Band provides a solid backing there are also some funky vocals by Dr. John and Aretha Franklin. While many legends participate on this album legends-to-be also contribute: Johnny Lang Erykah Badu and Blues Traveler represent the next generation. All in all this soundtrack is a fine continuation of the Blues Brothers legacy (and some excellent party music to boot!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Must buy, June 29, 2000

This review is from: Blues Brothers 2000: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is great stuff..After the movie, I knew I needed the Soundtrack, but I has pretty much figured on that even before I saw the movie. All the tracks featuring the Blues Brothers Band are great, especially the Perry Mason Theme, and New Orleans. The CD also introduced me to Erykah Badu, who has an incredible voice. Funky Nassau is a great track, one of the best on the CD. Aretha's new Respect version is great, as expected, and Blues Traveler contributes "Maybe I'm Wrong", another outstanding track. Another short, but enjoyable little song is the Car Crash theme from the movie, "Let there be drums", by the Carl LaFong trio. As short as it is, I really enjoy that one! Allso great to have those John Goodman songs, such as Looking for a Fox and Turn on your love light. You really cant go wrong with this soundtrack, I loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This soundtrack AND movie are no disappointment for fans, August 23, 1998

I just finished watching the movie Blues Brothers 2000, and have the CD as well. WOW! The movie brought tears to my eyes seeing the FABULOUS Aretha back, and Wilson Pickett and gang performing to a hilarious 634-5789!! And what about Sam Moore and the Godfather?!?! The soundtrack is great and not a disappointment at all for Blues Brothers fans. Sure, it's like any "greatest hits" type thing -- many of the songs you'd love to hear aren't there, but the ones that are there are fabulous!

Thank you, Dan, for bringing this to us again.I'm sure those you dedicated this effort to (Belushi, Calloway and Candy) would highly approve...and do. I could tell that the muscians themselves were having a blast, and that's certainly good enough for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love my children (5 & 8) growing up listening to this music.

Jimmie Vaughn, Lou Rawls, Issac Hayes, Billy Preston, Grover Washington, Jr., Travis Tritt???? Alongside B.B. King, Bo Diddley, Dr. John, Koko Taylor, and on and on. It's too much, really toooooooo much!! Who'dve thought!

BOTH video and audio cd are a MUST!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD., January 31, 2000

Nick (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blues Brothers 2000: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is basically my favorite CD, I would have bought it just for the Blues Traveler song "Maybe I'm Wrong" Which is a lot longer and 10 times better then it was on the movie. But I really am happy with all the other songs on it, like Respect, John the Revaltor, Harmonica musings, Let There Be Drums, Funky Nassau, How Blue Can You Get?, Turn On Your Love Light, and New Orleans. I would recommend this CD to anyone.
