Topic: Caddilac Records

This may have been posted before, sorry I didn't search.

I saw the movie a few weeks ago. It was a great story about Chess Records here in Chicago and the stories of some blues greats, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Etta James, etc.

Has anyone else seen this movie? If so what are your thoughts?

This is a great movie. Probably my favorite as of right now. Even though some of the story was wrong it still made a great film.

The guy who played Howlin' Wolf looked just like the real Wolf, but did not sound much like him. All of the characters were amazing in my opinion.

GREAT MOVIE!

Just saw it last night.  Got it on demand.  Took a few too many liberties for my liking, but it was well done.  Any blues fan should check it out.
