Briefcase Full of Blues is the debut album by The Blues Brothers, released in 1978. The Blues Brothers were a musical duo consisting of comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, who had first appeared as characters on "Saturday Night Live" in the late 1970s.
The album was recorded live at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California, and features covers of classic blues and soul songs from artists such as James Brown, Otis Redding, and Aretha Franklin, as well as some original compositions.
The album opens with an energetic rendition of "Opening: I Can't Turn You Loose," featuring Belushi's powerful vocals and Aykroyd's harmonica playing. Other standout tracks include "Soul Man," a funky and upbeat tune that became one of the duo's signature songs, and "Rubber Biscuit," a catchy and upbeat number.
