THE BEST OF THE BLUES BROTHERS

Dan Ackroyd and Saturday Night Live writer Tom Davis host a Blues Brothers retrospective that tells the whole truth about the legendary band's early days and righteous ways.

The Blues Brothers were an unforgettable part of Saturday Night Live's golden era, making their musical debut in bee costumes singing "I'm A King Bee," and becoming an overnight sensation. Switching to hats and shades inspired by John Lee Hooker, they combined classic Chicago Blues with Stax/Volt R&B, creating a sound all their own. (Having Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn of the MG's on guitar and bass certainly helped keep the Stax sound prominent!)

Their first album, Briefcase Full Of Blues, went double platinum and quickly led to their first hit movie and a milestone soundtrack album. The rest is history, and it's all here in a music-filled, memory-blasting account of a band that will always be on a mission from God.
