I loved this film. The album is OK, but there are times, as with the first Blues Brothers record, that I can't help but feel that the original tracks are better. I don't think it's possible to best Steve Winwood's vocal on Gimme Some Lovin'. I think that is simply impossible. The Blues Brothers' vocal lacks depth, soul, and that je ne sais quoi. And then there's the issue of the keyboards. The Brothers dumped them for a horn section, which is good, but sort of anemic in comparison.
