Captured at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles between 26 July and 1 August 1980, the album documents the original Blues Brothers lineup at the height of the band's popularity, following the release of the hit \u003cem\u003eThe Blues Brothers\u003c\/em\u003e film earlier that year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe album brings together Jake Blues (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) with an exceptional backing band drawn from some of the finest musicians in blues, soul and R\u0026amp;B. Among them are Steve Cropper, Donald \"Duck\" Dunn, Matt Murphy, Tom Malone, Alan Rubin, Tom Scott and Paul Shaffer, giving the performances the tight, horn-driven sound that had become central to the Blues Brothers' identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe opening medley of Soul Finger \/ Funky Broadway immediately establishes the album's high-energy live character, followed by Who's Making Love, originally associated with Johnnie Taylor's 1968 Stax hit. Do You Love Me \/ Mother Popcorn combines the Motown classic with James Brown's funk favourite, while Guilty leads into the tongue-in-cheek Perry Mason Theme and Riot In Cell Block Number Nine, creating a memorable courtroom-and-prison sequence within the live set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSide B features some of the album's most recognisable instrumental material. Green Onions, written by Booker T. \u0026amp; the M.G.'s members including Steve Cropper and Al Jackson Jr., is particularly significant because Cropper and bassist Donald \"Duck\" Dunn were performing their own Stax-era material with the Blues Brothers. I Ain't Got You, From The Bottom and Going Back To Miami complete the set with a mixture of blues, soul and R\u0026amp;B, ending the album with the Wayne Cochran composition that had become part of the Blues Brothers' live repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMade In America\u003c\/em\u003e captures the original Blues Brothers at a pivotal moment, combining Chicago blues influences, Memphis soul, Stax R\u0026amp;B, Motown, funk and classic American rhythm \u0026amp; blues with the musicianship of an exceptionally strong touring band. It was also the final studio\/live album released by the group's original incarnation before the death of John Belushi in 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor collectors of The Blues Brothers, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Atlantic Records, Stax soul, Memphis R\u0026amp;B and classic live albums, \u003cem\u003eMade In America\u003c\/em\u003e remains an important document of the band's original period and a strong representation of the energetic live sound that made them so distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoul Finger \/ Funky Broadway – 2:05\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho's Making Love – 3:34\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo You Love Me \/ Mother Popcorn (You Got To Have A Mother For Me) – 2:54\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGuilty – 3:42\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerry Mason Theme – 2:10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRiot In Cell Block Number Nine – 3:25\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreen Onions – 5:45\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI Ain't Got You – 2:45\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom The Bottom – 3:25\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGoing Back To Miami – 4:01\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7nF08EcbkNA?si=mLtZc48E2VN3z8ea\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55540112097622,"sku":"ATL 50 768","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f29e621d-e3bc-41fb-8e66-eaaa0d8a9dde.jpg?v=1790767541","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/blues-brothers-made-in-america","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
