lol That's probably one of my least favorite tunes of his; I almost always skipped it when I listened to the album, which I hardly ever do anymore (I think I played it too much back in the day), except for
Downbound Train.
I do like it live, though.

While I love the Blues Brothers (Best movie ever, IMO), I don't consider them a band in the traditional sense; I see them more as a "special project" similar to Spinal Tap, although Spinal Tap is in nowhere near the same league musically. While the band was made up of great musicians, the brothers themselves were characters. Their songs were pretty much all covers, albeit classic songs, and performed well. I just wouldn't consider them the same as a band that wrote/ released original music.
