Chess Records

So prompted by the movie Cadillac Records I decided to do some good ol' fashion stalking. . . I looked up the record company and Etta James. . . Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry. I must admit Etta James may have very well become my favourite female singer. At least when it comes to one liners. She was reported to have said of Beyonce, "She needs to learn how to climb because Etta James ain't no angel." Or something along those lines. I also learned how deep Mussy Waters's influence runs musically. I have a friend into Noise and he and I were talking about Muddy Waters and he suprised me by stating that Muddy Waters influenced him. Now for those of you who aren't familiar with the musical genre of Noise. . . well it can best be described as the sound a tape player makes when you rewind it. I'm not a fan but kudos to those who are. It's not something that you would think Muddy Waters to have heavily influenced (Timothy Leary maybe) I guess he does get around huh? Also, on a unrelated side note. . . has anyone listened to REM lately? All I can say is this. . . if you're a fan of them. . . DON'T!
