- Blues Brothers, Z2 Comics
The Lost Recordings, pressed on "royal blue" vinyl, is only available with the graphic novel. Judy Belushi Pisano recently rediscovered the live album, which features 13 previously unreleased recordings. The musicians backing up "Joliet" Jake E. Blues and Elwood J. Blues include members of Booker T. and the M.G.'s, the Bar-Kays, Howlin' Wolf's band, and the Saturday Night Live band at the time, including Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Matt Murphy, and Paul Shaffer.
Dan Aykroyd, who provided editorial oversight and wrote a foreword for the graphic novel, says, "In this wonderful form of printed artistic expression, we get to continue the legend of Jake and Elwood and pass it forward in ways that film can't. This graphic novel keeps the spirit of the Blues Brothers alive; mischievous recidivists, musical outlaws who, above everything, care about the blues. The quest for the Briefcase, full of unearthed lyrics and music from the greats, is an honourable Grail. The Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake is a passing of the legacy to the next generation, echoing the true heart of our original story — keeping alive what should not be forgotten."
