[Harp-L] Cadillac Records



Harmonica Friends,
I saw the film Cadillac Records last night.  The movie is destined to go down as one of the better blues themed Hollywood productions.  Jeremy Wright did a great job in her portrayal of great Muddy Waters and the Little Walter tragedy had me wiping tears from my eyes.  I really enjoyed the music but it appeared to me that Columbus Short (Little Walter) was harp-syncing to a recorded harmonica score.  The harmonica parts were extremely well done for both Walter and Wolf's short harmonica riffs.  The end credits rolled by pretty fast, but cited Kim Wilson and some one else, whose name I did not recognize, as being involved with harmonica.  If anyone else caught the credits, please let me know who it was.  If you get the opportunity, check this film out.  We saw it on one of the art screens at a big multi-plex in Tulsa.  I'm suspect it won't remain in theatres long here.  It was so cool to see my blues heroes on the big screen.

I think the New York Times review got it right.
