Since March is Women's History Month, I will be focusing on the music from films directed by WOMEN. And while I realize everyone has Barbie fever right now, my celebration of the wonderful Greta Gerwig goes back to her 2017 solo directorial debut, Lady Bird.

It's a delicious offering on this final day of Black History Month: the 1997 film Soul Food. It's a story told from the perspective of an 11-year-old about a family that gets together at matriarch Big Mama's house every Sunday for dinner, while navigating a whole lot of family drama. The ensemble cast includes Vanessa Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Nia Long, Mekhi Phifer, and Michael Beach.
For today's SoundTRAX we're workin' at the "Car Wash," girl

Car Wash (Universal Pictures) Not every film has to be art. Sometimes you just want to turn your brain off for a while and not ponder a movie's cinematic integrity, impressive cinematography, or which actor is going to clean up during awards season. Car Wash , from 1976, definitely falls into the latter category. I distinctly remember my brother and I watching it as kids on late-night TV because, well, Richard Pryor was in it and that's all we needed to know.

Today for Black History Month we're celebrating one of my favorite eras of music, the early 40s to the late 60s, with the 2008 film Cadillac Records. The movie tells the story of Chess Records, the iconic Chicago label that recorded blues legends such as Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, while also helping give birth to rock ’n’ roll.
