I thought the performances were solid enough..
"disconnection from the streets"
we may have to throw down over this statement.
DJ Qualls is a golden god
you may be joking.
however, actually, now that I reflect a bit on his character, it wasn't all that preposterous.
the skinny white record nerd schooling the clueless ghetto black guys on the roots of Memphis music is actually (sadly) sort of on point.
for the record I thought Terrence Howard gave a helluva performance.
and there were some serious session players on the soundtrack also.
plus Isaac Hayes.
maybe it wasn't a complete loss.
That Buddy Guy track "baby please don't leave me" in the beginning was killer!
But I did like some of the soundtrack
