Jake and Elwood Blues put their R&B band back together in an effort to save the orphanage where they grew up in 1980’s Blues Brothers movie. The film’s clearly hilarious, but it also features a slew of good music. Ray Charles, James Brown and Aretha Franklin all make memorable cameos, while always-underrated aces Donald “Duck” Dunn and Matt “Guitar” Murphy lead Jake and Elwood’s band. Enjoy the music and the madness with The Blues Brothers on Cinemax on Saturday morning.
