A couple years ago I caught the last part of ‘Blues Brothers 2000’, and loved it. Some (ok, quite a few) stupid parts, yeah, BUT, a whole lotta great music more than make up for it.
It’s got all the old cast, mostly, with John Goodman playing Elwood Blues. Lotta the same songs, with Riders in the Sky, Respect, Blues Bros theme song, and LOTS of car wrecks and an AMAZING cast of musicians and some of the best harp (harmonica) you’ll ever hear. In addition to all the original musicians, there’s also, The Louisiana Gator Boys is a blues supergroup created for the film. They face The Blues Brothers in a Battle of the Bands . The band is composed of: Jeff "Skunk" Baxter – guitar Gary U.S. Bonds – vocals Eric Clapton – vocals and guitar Clarence Clemons – vocals, tenor saxophone and tambourine Jack DeJohnette – drums Bo Diddley – vocals and guitar Jon Faddis – trumpet Isaac Hayes – vocals Dr. John – vocals and piano B.B. King as Malvern Gasperone – vocals and guitar Tommy "Pipes" McDonnell – vocals Charlie Musselwhite – vocals and harmonica Billy Preston – vocals and synthesizer Lou Rawls – vocals Joshua Redman – tenor saxophon
