Briefcase Full of Blues (1978) more music like this

by The Blues Brothers

The Blues Brothers began as an affectionate joke-cum-tribute to R&B music, and taken in that spirit it retained its entertainment value, even after this live album topped the charts, sold two million copies, and produced hit singles in "Rubber Biscuit" and "Soul Man." The guardians of popular music have always been entirely too reverent and ...

The Blues Brothers [Original Soundtrack] (1980) more music like this

by The Blues Brothers

Comic actors John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd received a lot of flak for their Blues Brothers shtick -- mostly for the albums, not 1980's beloved classic film. But they should be given credit for exposing many people -- including this reviewer -- to the music of blues and R&B veterans. The Blues Brothers soundtrack was released on Atlantic Records. On ...

The Best of the Blues Brothers (1981) more music like this

by The Blues Brothers

The immediate need to establish a greatest-hits record for a comedic duo whose output consisted of one studio album, a movie soundtrack and a live album is a bit head scratching, but consider the group's popularity at the time -- along with the tragic passing of John Belushi -- it seems mildly appropriate to collect the highlights in one ...

Return of El Parche (1986) more music like this

by Esteban "Steve" Jordan

Steve Jordan's facility with uptempo or ballad material, polkas, waltzes, traditional Mexican and reworked American rock, pop and country helped established his base, as did a number of regional singles and albums. The 12 tunes on this anthology were recorded between 1976 and 1984 for the Freddie and Joe labels in Corpus Christi and San Antonio, ...

The Many Sounds of Steve Jordan (1985) more music like this

by Esteban "Steve" Jordan

This is a flamboyant artist operating in a style of music that is already pretty rowdy to begin with. The legend of Jordan being the Jimi Hendrix of the accordion might strike listeners as hype, but in reality is accurate more from a musical point of view than the obvious similarity in freaky appearances that both artists share. (Jordan has a wild ...

Legends of the Accordion (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

The straightforwardly-named Legends of the Accordion delivers just what its title suggests: a collection of performances from some of the best players of this underappreciated instrument. The album spans the accordion's surprisingly varied sounds and moods in songs that range from the expected (Dick Contino's "Lady of Spain") to the unusual (Those ...

El Hurracane (1987) more music like this

by Esteban "Steve" Jordan

Steve Jordan's second Rounder anthology in 1989 included polkas, drinking songs and a couple of more ambitious numbers that blended Afro-Latin and Caribbean rhythmic influences. Once more, his accordion playing was impressive, especially on "Que Tanto Es Tantito" and "Ran-Kan-Kan." Jordan did some tunes in English and showed his skill with ...

Live at Montreux Casino (2002) more music like this

by The Blues Brothers Band

After John Belushi's death in 1982, many assumed that they had heard the last of the Blues Brothers. While it seemed that way during the period immediately following Belushi's passing, by the end of the decade, most of the group (including such notables as Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Steve "The Colonel" Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Lou "Blue Lou" Marini ...

Here, the best 15 representatives of the genre from the Arhoolie release archives are presented as Vol. 4 of the Arhoolie American Masters series. As would be expected, the Jimenez family takes up over a quarter of the album, but that's a good thing here. ...
