Jake and Elwood

[DaWoofer]

I haven't heard this LP in many years but pulled it out and listened to it today and was pleasantly surprised at how well recorded and engineered the sound was. Something that many 70's LP's as we all know are far from. Dig it out and give it a spin and be surprised as well. It was the Suitcase Full of Blues LP. I'm not sure they ever had another, anyone?

According to Wikipedia, Briefcase Full of Blues was the first of many. Looks like a lot of live and best of in the list.

EDIT: Dang, too slow.

with Jim dying in '82 it looks as though he was involved in only a couple LP's.

That would be news to Jim! Actually, it was John who died in '82.

The backing band was incredible, but John Belushi wasn't really that great a singer.

Sorry...

I have it, love it as well as the soundtrack to their movie.

Oops, yes he was less than average, but it worked out from a musical standpoint.

John and Dan

were living the dream here. I saw them live @ Universial Theatre and they were so stoked about their back up band they would introduce them to the crowd every 1/2 hour. It was nice they were in a posistion to act on their fantasy and make it happen.
