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.
