I watched that 'Cadillac Records' film the other day. It's the story of Chess Records - the infamous label that launched the career's of Muddy Waters, Etta James, Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter.
Although the film may be a little bit of a vanity project for executive producer and actress Beyonce, and although it may be a bit inaccurate - we do allow for a bit of artistic interpretation.
Cynicism aside though, it is an entertaining film and the soundtrack is tip-top. Phenomenal soul croons and foot-shuffling beats mixed with the bluegrass beats and all the rock and roll associated violence, sex, booze and drugs makes this a worthy watch. It also got me into Little Walter. There's no point to this entry other than this song...it's brilliant...
