Short description

The story of sex, violence, race and rock and roll in 1950s Chicago, and the exciting but turbulent lives of some of America's musical legends, including Muddy Waters, Leonard Chess, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James and Chuck Berry.

What's left behind the scenes

In the scene where bluesman Howlin' Wolf (1910-1976) records the song Smokestack Lightning, Hubert Sumlin (1931-2011), the actor playing his guitarist, is actually playing the guitar himself alongside the actor portraying Howlin' Wolf.
