Artist: the blues brothers

He was on a tour of Japan with his friend and former bandmate in Booker T. and the MGs, Steve Cropper.

Here is a blues humor post from the archives, the "Blues Brothers" movie is still a very funny movie. While not in the same vane as many of my recent post. I have been posting mostly prewar blues in SqueezeMyLemon, that is because that is where I am at right now. Those blues are the ones that shade me right now. That is how blue I am. If you understand what I trying to say. But there is an event that is going on [...]

The Blues Brothers (or, more formally, The Blues Brothers' Show Band and Revue) are an American blues and soul revivalist band founded in 1978 by comedy actors Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as part of a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live. Belushi and Aykroyd, respectively in character as lead vocalist "Joliet" Jake Blues and harmonica player/vocalist Elwood Blues, fronted the band, which was composed of well-known and respected musicians. The band made its debut as the musical guest on the April 22, 1978, episode of Saturday Night Live. Read more »

From Buzzfeed : "The Blues Brothers are together again at last in a new issue of IDW's Ghostbusters comic which references the fact that Jon Belushi was the first choice to play Peter Venkman before Bill Murray stepped in." It doesn't reference in the panel above, unless I'm missing the sly reference, but this is a fairly cool easter egg for geeks that think a Blues Brother's reunion taking place in the Ghostbusters' universe is awesome. And yes, I'm one of those people. These were two of my favorite movies growing up. I can't tell you how many [...]

One of the true greats passed away this month: Clarence Clemons, a legend to every Springsteen fan. There are many things which made the E Street Band's sound so unique, but the key ingredients, in my view, were Roy Bittan's keyboards and Clemons' sax. It is on Clemons' shoulder on which Springseen leans on the Born To Run cover, literally and symbolically (and imagine the title track without that orgasmic saxophone build-up). The featured E Street Band song, here in the live version from the 1975 Hammersmith Odeon concert, tells the story of how the E Street Band came together. [...]
