I grew up with it, even more than the movie, so I know every word by heart. We actually went and saw a really good Blues Brothers act the last time we were in D.C.

It's good that it's kept the music alive. It's a ridiculously talented band. I think my main thing is that Chicago blues is not really my bag, but it's basically the world my parents live in.

I think I first got into Chicago blues from hearing Butterfield's East-West. That album blew me away.

Oh yeah those first two Butterfield albums are peak blues rock, no question. Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop together!

Another slightly less obvious one that I love is Luther Allison's Bad News is Coming from 1972. Lot of standards, but exceptionally well executed.

If you want to keep going, there's a fun video on YouTube from when they opened for The Closing of Winterland (yes, that concert). Quality is terrible for the first five minutes, but it gets better. I always smile when I see Paul Shaffer with hair. https://youtu.be/e4OMWW25Fzc?si=US0dq9Mywi57-ql7
