18 albums in 50 years - and it's not a fairy tale that the movie "The Blues Brothers" also made use of Downchild's band history. The creation of songwriter and guitar/harmonica virtuoso Donnie (“Mr. Downchild”) Walsh, Downchild has an illustrious and colourful history now spanning five decades. Something I’ve Done is another stellar entry in a discography with very few equals in terms of both quantity (it is their 18th album) and quality. The history of Downchild would certainly make a fascinating movie, and in fact aspects of the band’s story were used in the hit movie The Blues Brothers. The Toronto-based group’s universally-recognized status as Canada’s bestloved blues band is reaffirmed by the accolades they receive including:Juno Awards, Entertainer of The Year at the Maple Blues Awards, as well as North American festival favourites in both North American and European Blues Festivals.
