Title: Blues & Rock History
Review: Whether or not you like the story line of this movie,and if you can accept some chronological and factual inconsistencies, Cadillac Records is a very significant work in that it illustrates some important history on Blues music and it's influence on Rock 'n Roll. Played against the backdrop of race relations in American society of the 1950's, the movie provides insight on the inner workings of the music industry and how talent was not always all that an artist needed to get play time on the radio. One wonders what path the Blues and it's transition and effect on popular music would have taken if not for Chess Records. For those who have any interest in the origins and development of the music of both genres, Cadillac Records is a must see!
