Movie News - Veteran Hollywood actor Charles Napier died Wednesday afternoon at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, according to a family friend.

Napier is best known to us as "Tucker McElroy", lead singer of the "Good Ole Boys".

He was 75.

The Blues Brothers Band - It is with great sadness that we report the death of Blues Brothers Band trumpet player Alan Rubin, known to all of us as "Mr Fabulous".

Alan passed away today at aged 68.

The Blues Brothers Band - Blues Brothers guitarist Steve Cropper's new album is set to drop on June 15th on Amazon.com, from the STAX Records label.

"Midnight Flyer" is the second collaborative work between Cropper and Felix Cavaliere, the followup to their "Nudge It Up A Notch" release from a few years ago.

The Blues Brothers - That's it, call off the search! One of the original Bluesmobiles from the original 1980 movie has finally been located!

At least, that's what the owner would have you believe. Allow me to explain...

Related News - Some of you may already know about this story, but last year we confirmed that there was a Blues Brothers parody film in production called 'Eldorado'.

Well, the first trailer has been released, and...I still don't know what to make of this film. It's unlike any trailer I've seen before. (Actually it was posted several months ago, but only just came to our attention recently).

It features several of the songs that performed by the Blues Brothers (including 'Groove Me', 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T', 'Flip, Flop & Fly'). And a Bluesmobile, of sorts.
