Written and directed by Darnell Martin, "Cadillac Records" chronicles the
history of Chess Records, the pre-eminent blues label of the 1950s and 1960s
co-founded by Leonard Chess (played by Adrien Brody) and his brother Phil
(Shiloh Fernandez). A powerful saga of sex, violence, race and rock & roll
set in 1950s Chicago, "Cadillac Records" follows the turbulent lives of the
American musical legends who recorded for Chess: Etta James (played by Beyonce
Knowles), Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright), Little Walter (Columbus Short),
Willie Dixon (Cedric the Entertainer), Chuck Berry (Mos Def), Howlin' Wolf
(Eamonn Walker) and more. The film tracks the story of Chess Records, from
the time the Chess brothers sold the label's first recordings from the trunk
of their Cadillac through the company's emergence as the greatest repository
of black American music -- blues, gospel, and the electric blues that became
rock & roll -- in the mid-20th century.
