The chase scenes in this movie were awesome and more creative in the comedy aspect given this is 1998. was cool the young actor was actually quite good as a harmonica player or at least impersonating a harmonica player if they dubbed the music for him. The subplot of taking a troubled kid and turning him into Elwood Jr. Dan Aykroyd in some places was lacking in his acting, mostly in the beginning, others he was rocking. The performances were great, another variety of solid blues songs played. Not everything in the movie was the same. Given the loss of John Belushi & Cab Calloway, this was a solid tribute & sequel to these gentlemen. Same theme, new characters, music off the charts in blues, blue grass & soul.
