Subject: RE: Anyone Going to See 'Cadillac Records'??
Meself, thanks, I enjoyed the article. I share the hope that the movie, despite it's flaws, brings attention to the genre. I'm reminded of Oh Brother where art thou, and the subsequent Down from the Mountain that brought Ralph Stanley back to the spotlight and John Hartford and widened the audience for Alison Krause and others for bluegrass and old time country music.

The blues and rhythmn and blues and jump blues could use some opportunities to play some bigger halls and make some cash, and the movie could contribute to that.
