Dan Aykroyd and Audible have produced a documentary detailing the development of the Blues Brothers. The oral history, nearly two hours long and titled Blues Brothers: The Arc Of Gratitude, chronicles John Belushi and Aykroyd’s path to stardom as the Chicago blues band. It will be available on Audible on July 25th. Alongside commentary from Aykroyd, the doc includes new and archive contributions from Judy Belushi Pisano, Jim Belushi and co-screenwriter John Landis. Aykroyd recalls spending late nights drinking with Belushi in a Toronto speakeasy in the 1970s, and collaborations with blues legends James Brown, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. (Variety)
