Interview With Jeffrey Wright

On the weekend I saw Oliver Stone's biopic W, Jeffrey Wright played Colin Powell. I enjoyed his performance. He is also in the movie Cadillac Records. He does an interview with NPR's Terry Gross where he talks about his part as Muddy Waters.

Jeffrey Wright: Angel, Agent, Blues Legend & More - Actor Jeffrey Wright plays Muddy Waters in Darnell Martin's new film Cadillac Records. The film tells the story of Chicago's Chess Records, where Waters launched his career alongside Etta James, Chuck Berry and others.

Susan Tedeschi's NPR Interview

I was pleasantly surprised to hear an interview of Susan Tedeschi on the NPR program All Things Considered. She went into how she wrote some of the new songs on her latest CD, her family life and what it is like to be a touring blues musician with two small children.
