I love this music. The birth of Chicago Blues and pretty much rock and roll looked at through the tiny Chess label and recording studio.

Great acting (I especially enjoyed Mos Def, but I always do), wonderful story, AMAZING soundtrack.

Based on a true story, but with obvious liberties.

And the guy that plays Howling Wolf is just frightening.
