Red, White & Blues is the eighth album by The Blues Brothers, released in 1992. It is their first studio album, other than the soundtracks from the movies The Blues Brothers (1980) and Blues Brothers 2000 (1999). It is also the only album that contains original material, such as "Red, White & Blues", "Take You and Show You" and "Can't Play the Blues (In an Air-Conditioned Room)". The album was recorded at the Power Station studio in New York. Original band member Tom Malone had left the band the year before to join the Gil Evans orchestra and was replaced by Birch Johnson.
