This is one of the rarer Blues Brothers CDs/LPs from their catalogue, it's a studio effort from most of the original Blues Brothers Band with Paul Shaffer. Released in 1992, it is done largely without either of the Blues Brothers (Jake/John Belushi having passed on almost a decade before its release) although Elwood Blues/Dan Ackroyd does vocals on the title track, and plays his harp on another, "You Can't Play the Blues (In An Air-Conditioned Room)". It's good, if not great, stuff, but seems largely an effort for the remaining members of the band to cash in with some product, instead of their individual solo career efforts.
For those of us who can't get enough of the Blues Brothers stuff, I'd recommend this one after getting "The Blues Brothers Band - Live In Montreaux" and "Blues Brothers & Friends - Live from the House of Blues", but if you're just discovering the Blues Brothers after seeing one (or the other) of their movies, there are much better places for you to start listening, such as "The Blues Brothers Complete." /Walter Five, Amazon

It's Montreux, not "Montreaux". The Blues Brothers' act is a disgrace and a slap in the face to any self-respecting musician.
I did see the movie in 1980 because it was announced as a musical comedy; i didn't know about the Jake & Elwood characters from Saturday Night Live shows, i didn't know about their first album, so i was very surprised by the soundtrack and the performances of John Lee Hooker, Walter Horton, Matt Murphy, Ray Charles, James Brown, Chaka Khan, Aretha, Cab Calloway, Steve Cropper (i only knew JL Hooker's music); i was already in my twenties, but i discovered a new world of great music, Soul and R&B; the story is kind of a slapstick but who cares! i think lots of people got an introduction to great American black music. (the sequel was a very poor attempt to cash in again, despite a big all star band).
@ Franck Unfortunately the Blues Brothers is as deep into the blues that most people are willing to delve
