My God the final scene alone is a whos who of Rock, R&B, Blues and even Country. I bet just the cost of booking all those famous musicians cost the production a pretty penny. Plus throughout the movie itself musical legends abound.

Erykah Badu, B.B. King, Junior Wells, Lonnie Brooks, Willie Hall, Aretha Franklin, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper, Johnny Lang, Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, John Popper & Blues Traveler, Sam Moore, James Brown, Paul Shaffer, Jeff Baxter, Gary U.S. Bonds, Eric Clapton, Clarence Clemons, Jack deJohnette, Bo Diddley, Jon Faddis, Isaac Hayes, Dr. John, Tommy McDonnell, Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Preston, Lou Rawls, Joshua Redman, KoKo Taylor, Travis Tritt, Jimmie Vaughan, Grover Washington Jr., Wylie Weeks, Stevie Winwood

Wow! what a lineup...

Seeing all those LEGENDS up there pretty much made up for the fact that the movie wasn't all that good.

Just saw the movie for the first time today. And yes, the last music scene made up for the rest of the movie!
