Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

As members of the cast and writing staff of Saturday Night Live, Aykroyd and John Belushi introduced Jake and Elwood Blues - the Blues Brothers - to an enthusiastic public. Elwood's Blues is an entertaining and informative collection of conversations with the legends and rising stars of blues and rock music, drawn from the popular syndicated radio series The House of Blues Radio Hour. Host Dan Aykroyd, in character as Elwood Blues of the legendary Blues Brothers, has interviewed over 900 blues and rock greats since 1993. This book compiles the best of those, including discussions with living legends B.B. King and Buddy Guy, past masters John Lee Hooker and Stevie Ray Vaughan, rising stars Keb' Mo' and Susan Tedeschi, and blues-rooted rock stars such as Robert Plant and Bill Wyman. Elwood's interviews are candid and relaxed. The musical guests discuss their music, life on the road, and a variety of other subjects. Elwood's Blues will appeal to every blues fan.

Glenda, January 29, 2009 (view all comments by Glenda)
Although Dan Ackroyd may be only an enthusiastic amateur as a harmonica player, he is also a man deeply in love with the blues. In character as Elwood Blues, he hosts the House of Blues Radio Hour, and has interviewed dozens of blues, and blues-influenced musicians.

Stalwarts like Brownie McGhee and Buddy Guy talk about their upbringings, their blues education, and their struggles to survive as musicians. Rockers like Robert Plant and ZZ Top describe their respect for the music that has influenced them more than any other genre. And the new torch-bearers of the blues are represented by Marcia Ball, Shemekia Copeland and Keb' Mo'.

Thirty-nine interviews are included, along with comedy pieces performed by Ackroyd on his radio program, and a discography of recommended listening.

Ackroyd captures the breadth and personalities of the blues with love and respect. I enjoyed this much more than most blues books that I come across.
