The fascinating story of the two young Polish immigrant Chess brothers who ran the label and showcased the great talents of Muddy Waters, Etta James, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, andothers is being celebrated with the release of the feature film 'Cadillac Records', starring Beyonce Knowles, Mos Def and Adrien Brody, among others. In the film and soundtrack album, 15 classic Chess Recordings are re-created by the performers portraying the original recording stars. This new compilation presents all 15 original Chess hit recordings, plus one track ['Last Night' by Little Walter] the singular Chess original featured in the film's soundtrack. All of these songs were hits at the time, and together create a unique portrait of a vibrant record label and a musical moment in time.) more...
