"Being a huge fan of SNL and The Blues Brothers for almost 30years I picked up this album just to show support for my boys. WOW was I blown away. Unlike Aykroyd's previouse albums that are mostly covers this is almost all originals! 14 tracks of Good Old Louisianna Blues fused with Contemporary Rock. My Personal favorites on the Album are the title track "have Love Will Travel"(wich was performed on Acording to Jim)"Cadilac Man" (also performed on Acording to Jim) and "Time Won't Let Me" (performed on SNL featuring a duet by Jim and Danny) if your expecting to hear the blues brothers this isn't the album for you. But if you just want a taste of somethnig different, a new kind of Blues Then I definatly recomend this Album! These guys obviosly put there hearts in to it. Jim and Danny both take turns singing lead and Blowing the harmonicas and they even team up for a few duets on the album, and the band is made up mostly of Jim's other band "The Sacred hearts" If you can find there cd I recomend that also!!"

Somewhat original

"I've always got a kick out of the blues brothers and I would recommend this cd to both snl fans and lovers of classic r&b/blues & rock......Having read some of the other reviews, I would like to point out a fallacy. This is NOT mostly original. There are some original tunes but over half are cover versions.In fact, nine of the thirteen songs are covers. I listed them below with the original recording artists-

Have Love, Will Travel-Richard Berry (of Louie Loiue fame)

Dig Myself A Hole-Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup

Time Won't Let Me-The Outsiders

Polk Salad Annie-Tony Joe White

300 Pounds Of Joy-Howlin Wolf

All She Wants To Do Is Rock-Wynonie Harris

Greenbacks-Ray Charles

Swinging Party-Lowell Fulsom

Driving Wheel-Roosevelt Sykes

Aykroyd & Belushi never tried to take credit for songs performed as the Blues Brothers and I don't think they would do so now."

WAY more than you'd think

"Let's face it: Dan Aykroyd LOVES the blues. The guy simply doesn't get enough credit for being a life-long supporter of the genre. His hosting of the House of Blues Radio Hour remains the most important blues radio show of the past 20 years. This time out, Dan smartly leaves the "Blues Brothers" name behind, and joins up with old friend Jim Belushi (and a great big band featuring former Bonnie Raitt guitarist Johnny Lee Schell). There are some really fine performances here--Belushi has obviously taken some vocal lessons after his horrific performance on the "Live from the House of Blues" Blues Brothers CD recorded in Chicago a few years back. It's also the best recorded and mixed independent blues CD I've purchased in a long time. The sound is absolutely pristine. You can tell the stars and the band are having BIG FUN during the making of this effort, and it's contagious to the listener. Cheap at twice the price; buy anything with the name Aykroyd on it. He's a dyed in the wool bluesman."
