The legendary Howlin' Wolf (my good friend, mentor, and music teacher) is uniquely gifted and inspiring. I'm glad his inner strength & wisdom was acknowledged. Eamonn Walker did very well, best actor & (20) lines in this historically-flawed movie. Sang decently too, but for the real deal, dig Wolf on YouTube. Wolf & I made 2 songs, fresh, different, just us. I hope to get them out this year) Of course, the ICONIC PHOTOS you see of him are ones we made in 1968 & 1969. Contact me to discuss Wolf
Wow! good commentary. I am a blues fan. Did this movie forget jazz? not really. If you consider that around that 90% of the black communities in chicago and acrose the country were listeing to Blues. Jazz does has its place though. I love blues music
Now, I'm not a fan of the lousy pop music that's labeled R'n'B these days, and I'm certainly not a Beyonce fan, but her portrayal of the brash teenager who nearly destroyed her life by getting strung out was simply amazing, powerful and subtle.
The fellow who played Little Walter also gave a terrific performance. Although the script he had to follow was mostly fantasy, he caught the essence of Walter Jacobs' personality.
really nice but please make it eamonn walker (3:50) , not williams.

I never would have guessed Beyonce could really sing. She should have had an Oscar for this movie.

No the hell she shouldn't. She came in an hour and a half into the mvie then it went off half an hour later

Well, I didn't have my stopwatch handy when I watched this movie, but assuming you're right about the timing, this is important because?
