A Piece of Blues Brothers History
The Blues Brothers recorded their first album, Briefcase Full of Blues, in 1978
while opening for comedian Steve Martin at Los Angeles' Universal Amphitheatre.
The album was #1 on the Billboard 200 went double platinum, and featured Top 40
hit covers of Sam and Dave's "Soul Man" and The Chips' "Rubber Biscuit."
The album liner notes fleshed out the fictional back story of Jake and Elwood,
having them growing up in a Roman Catholic orphanage in Rock Island, Illinois
and learning the blues from a janitor named Curtis. Their blood brotherhood was
sealed by cutting their middle fingers with a string said to come from the
guitar of Elmore James.
The band, along with the New Riders of the Purple Sage, opened for the Grateful
Dead for the final show at Winterland, New Year's Eve 1978.
With the film, came the soundtrack album, which was the band's first studio
album. "Gimme Some Lovin'" was a Top 40 hit and the band toured to promote the
film, which led to a third album (and second live album), Made in America,
recorded at the Universal Amphitheatre in 1980. The track "Who's Making Love"
peaked at No 39. It was the last recording the band would make with Belushi's
Jake Blues.
Belushi's wife, Judith Jacklin, and his friend, Tino Insana, wrote a book, Blues
Brothers: Private, that further fleshed out the Blues Brothers' universe and
gave a back story for the first movie.
In 1981, Best of the Blues Brothers was released; this album would be the first
of several compilations and hits collections issued over the years.
